Why IT Operations Management is Critical – And Where to Start

Why IT Operations Management is Critical – And Where to Start

November 15, 2022
11:00 AM – 2:30 PM EST | 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM PST

As IT complexity rises, so does the value of IT operations management (ITOM).

From IT infrastructure provisioning, to maintaining and managing capacity, performance and security, and ensuring the availability of the computing, networking and application environment, ITOM is fundamental to how an organizations function.

Organizations can continuously monitor and identify ways to optimize the IT environment, and automate administrative tasks to save time and maximize budgets. Meanwhile, your IT team is freed up to focus on the business problems that matter, and the innovation that impacts your bottom line.

But, it’s not a simple task. An effective, unified IT management strategy spans departments and teams, from development to systems administrators and business leaders, and requires an investment in time and money – but it’s an investment that pays dividends.

Topics Include:
The latest and greatest in ITOM tools, techniques, and technologies
Why ITOM is essential for businesses of every size
Tips to creating a blueprint for launching an effective ITOM strategy

Get advice on how to approach CloudOps in this educational keynote.
