Title: Examining the Value of BDNA Normalize CM
Speaker: Don Jones, Concentrated Technology
Abstract: Is System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) doing everything it can to help you improve the stability and supportability of your installed software? Is it helping you to reduce your IT service costs as much as possible? Probably not – because SCCM doesn’t have all the information it needs to do so. BDNA says they can save you up to $40 per incident, potentially lowering your software support costs by millions by allowing you to quickly identify and remediate outdated, unsupported, and other software that increases your support costs.
Join Redmond magazine’s “Decision Maker” columnist, Don Jones, as he examines the BDNA proposition, putting a real-world focus onto the often-overlooked costs of software support. Don will be joined by BDNA, and together they’ll explore this issue and consider some of the approaches you can use to address it. Attend the live webinar and submit your own questions, to receive forthright, immediate answers!

The Open Group Conference SF
When: January 30, 2012
Walker White, CTO, BDNA, will present: Normalization: The Foundation of Effective Enterprise Architecture
Dealing with organizational complexity is the norm for enterprise architects trying to reconcile sometimes conflicting information about their entire infrastructure and all its moving parts. This is in part due to different IT disciplines which often label information inconsistently, further complicating an already complex enterprise. IT professionals, especially enterprise architects, increasingly need an accurate and consistent view of their organization’s entire IT infrastructure that also provides the information necessary to effectively drive strategic IT initiatives and increase business value. One approach to solving the problem of tracking IT data is to create a standardized taxonomy that applies data normalization to existing hardware and software inventories to drive accuracy and consistency for better decision making. This presentation will explore the problem that disparate IT data currently poses for enterprise architects, strategies for effective data normalization and how to derive better business value from IT data for driving internal projects.

When: Wednesday, Nov 17 at 3:30pm, Grand Ballroom A
Speakers: Walker White, CTO, BDNA & Customer
Today's IT assets are more prevalent than ever before with desktops, servers, intermittently connected devices, and virtual clients consuming significant IT resources. With the combination of an elevated threat climate and the increasingly severe software licensing audit practices of major vendors, the need for knowing the state of your IT infrastructure has never been greater. While many solutions claim to provide visibility into a specific class of assets, only BDNA provides a complete solution for understanding the state of your entire infrastructure - physical, virtual, windows, unix, clients, and servers, to deliver the knowledge you need to maximize your IT asset investments and ensure you're utilizing them for maximum value. Come to the BDNA session and hear from one of the largest US financial firms about how they are leveraging BDNA solutions for deep IT asset visibility, enabling them to cut significant costs from their infrastructure and redeploy assets for maximum success in strategic initiatives.
