Description
Feedback from ComputerWeekly readers has suggested that there
are two key management issues affecting the working lives of CIOs,
heads of IT and IT Directors: aligning IT with the business and
reacting to downward financial pressure.
Such factors are keenly felt when senior ITR management has to
manage large PC estates that reside in all enterprises. As IT
management is only too aware, the cost of managing, repairing,
upgrading and running large PC estates dwarfs the actual price of
purchase. It is estimated by leading analysts that during a PC’s
lifetime, 80% of costs are attributed to support and maintenance
issues.
Yet there is a new dawn in PC technology emerging that could
fundamentally change totally the way in which large PC estates can
be run. These new technologies will essentially make PCs more
intelligent elements of networks, being able to be managed
centrally by IT departments even when switched off.
This means that technology repairs upgrades, patches and other
essential management functions can be performed at any time and not
just when the PC is switched on. In effect such new chip
technologies will create an energy-efficient, secure, performance
optimised PC platform with no compromises.
Users of such technologies will ultimately streamline their
management practices. They will see benefits in terms of increased
security of the PC estate, manage the estate more effectively and
efficiently, see increased performance in their PC estate and
fundamentally enjoy substantial reductions in operating costs and
in power utilisation.
This webinar will show how such benefits can be obtained from
the newly emerging technologies.
The webinar will look at the following issues
- The fundamental dynamics under which IT management
operates
- The newly emerging technologies that can address the challenges
that IT management faces in administrating effectively their PC
estate
- The benefits that such new technology will deliver
- How such new technologies can be deployed
Format:
Five minute introduction followed by three 10-minute presentations
plus a 10-minute moderated Q&A session. Interactive polling
carried out throughout the event.
