Attendee FAQ
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT INFRASTRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES?
Today’s highly-distributed, multi-tiered, Internet-enabled business systems are extremely complex and are required to support thousands of users, guarantee minimal response times and provide 24.7 uptime. That is, they require “mainframe class” robustness, performance, scalability and security. Anything less has the potential to negatively impact a company’s revenues, damage brand equity and erode consumer and partner confidence.
So how can an enterprise be expected to manage and operate its increasingly complex and expanding IT infrastructure effectively at a time of corporate belt tightening and reduced staffing? Increasingly, business and technical managers are turning to selective IT Infrastructure, operations and management sourcing and services.
WHAT IS THE IT INFRASTRUCTURE & MANAGEMENT SERVICES CONFERENCE & EXPO ?
Recognizing the opportunity to bring buyers of IT infrastructure services together with suppliers of those services, Jupiterevents launched this conference. This event combines a conference program including keynote presentations, individual speaker sessions and panel session, with an exhibit floor where buyers can interact with suppliers and research the service options. The program speakers represent a mix of IT managers, IT analysts and consultants, and IT suppliers all focused on the topic of IT Infrastructure and Management Services. Major suppliers represented on the speaking program include Sprint, IBM and BEA. Analyst firms represented include Jupitermedia, Meta Group, Tier1 Research, IDC, EpitomiOne and Aquarius Solutions. IT organizations represented include JP Morgan Chase & Co., AXA Financial, Purdue University and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THIS CONFERENCE?
The goal of the conference program is to provide information to attendees in the four conference track areas: the business case for selective services and sourcing, infrastructure and operations sourcing, application management services, and governance and quality assurance.
