LONDON, March 17 /PRNewswire/ --

Column Technologies has partnered with several global IT companies to share their IT expertise during an exclusive IT Executive Briefing event on Tuesday, April 22 at the Imperial War Museum London on Lambeth Road.

The executive briefing runs from 1 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and features Column customer presentations from Motorola and ComputaCenter executives, who will share their experiences with achieving Business Service Management (BSM) and IT service management goals. In addition, presenters from Column and Entuity will address IT business management topics, which include global implementations and how to achieve IT service management with third-party tools.

"BSM has matured to the point where global organisations can now provide uniform service delivery practices across disparate geographies, organizational boundaries and IT silos," said David Savino, VP of Services at Column. "The supporting technologies are increasingly platform agnostic and interconnected -- we can examine IT efficiencies from a perspective that was impossible just two years ago."

After the briefing, guests are invited to join in the Imperial War Museum's celebration of the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., during a private reception and access to the first major exhibition devoted to the life and work of Fleming, who created the world's most famous secret agent -- James Bond. The exhibit showcases everything from original content written by Fleming to movies reels and costumes from modern day 007 movies.

All executive briefing attendees will receive a complimentary autographed copy of the newly published book "For Your Eyes Only."

This complimentary event is sponsored by Column Technologies, BMC Software, Entuity and Abydos. Registration for the customer briefing and museum exhibit is free; however advance registration is required and can be accomplished by visiting http://www.columnit.com.
