Theme: Join the Journey
IT organizations everywhere are striving to improve efficiency and maximize the benefit that can be obtained from limited IT resources. We're all striving to optimize our operations. We are forging ahead, seeking better value in return for IT investments.
At TTS 2011, we will be inviting you to "Join the Journey" toward capacity management maturity. Come and learn how you can improve reliability and performance. Find out how to spend less time firefighting performance glitches and more time delivering valuable services to your users. At TTS 2011 you will have the opportunity to discover how IT can become less chaotic and more predictable, contributing more to overall organization performance and profit.
Tracks
TTS 2011 breakout sessions will feature three tracks - cost optimization, service optimization, and performance problem-solving. Focusing primarily on the strength and value of the content, you are also invited to tie into this year's theme, "Join the Journey," as you prepare materials.
- Solving Performance Problems
The first step on the journey toward capacity management maturity is to improve your organization's ability to detect and respond to performance issues. Oftentimes this step is so time-consuming it saps nearly all available resources and becomes the entire journey. Many organizations find themselves in quicksand, unable to pull themselves out so that they can move on to deliver real value to their user organizations.
Our goal for this track is to show attendees ways for discovering problems early and analyzing them quickly. The ideal is for the root cause to be discovered and corrected before serious damage is done. Our hope is that IT performance managers will see and avoid performance quicksand. Presentations in this track will provide guidance.
- Service Optimization
You want to get the most from your IT services. This means efficiency. Optimized services provide the consistency needed to reduce TCO, improve asset utilization, and deliver services that help the business turn profits. Creating a profitable business and mature IT department begin with service optimization. Because ultimately without it; you're living in a chaotic, shoot-from-the-hip environment.
Presentations in this track share experiences, lessons learned and results that illustrate the processes used to optimize the planning and delivery of IT services.
- Cost Optimization
It's always a good time to save money. Regardless of market conditions, technology changes, or where you are on your capacity management journey, optimizing costs and providing greater business value is a good idea. Proper resource planning, process improvement, risk mitigation, business and IT alignment...it all plays a role in controlling costs and getting the most from your IT investment while still meeting service levels.
Presentations in this track illustrate the many ways to use capacity management practices and TeamQuest software to control costs and improve efficiencies while meeting service levels.
