- Configuration and Change Management Specialists to Address Importance of Continuous Control and Compliance in Enterprise IT Environment

Assuring change management, policy and compliance is a global concern, especially in the enterprise IT environment and global economy. In an ongoing effort to educate the IT community about the critical importance of these issues amid the rapid proliferation of virtualization, Configuresoft, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise server configuration management solutions, announced today that it will host a free change management policy and compliance seminar at 8:30 a.m. GMT on Thursday, March 12 at the historic Navy Military Club, Astor Room, in London.

The session, Assuring Change Management, Policy and Regulatory Compliance Across The Stack, will address the challenges in assuring policy and regulatory compliance across the physical and virtual IT landscape and offer insight into how enterprises can implement proven methods and systems to overcome the operational complexities, compliance and security risks required to bulletproof the business over the long term.

The seminar will be hosted jointly by George Gerchow, ITIL, CISSP, CCNA, MCPS, SCP, director of corporate strategy at Configuresoft, and Richard Aurelius, CTO of TDB Networks Limited. In addition to change management, policy and compliance, the discussion will focus on achieving continual service improvement by leveraging key performance indicators and an IT-balanced scorecard to optimize processes and increase efficiency with automated workflow execution that integrates IT services with business needs.

Specifically, attendees will:

- Learn the critical technology and application relationships and dependencies that must be measured to assure compliance and change across the IT stack;

- Hear how leading IT organizations continuously assure compliance from the application, across the virtual and physical server infrastructure, and the network;

- Learn how to build effective communication across the IT organization, including security, operations, network, storage and audit.

Virtualization has added an entirely new dimension to the change management paradigm and complicated the task of maintaining both internal policy and external regulatory compliance, Gerchow said. The sheer ease and pace of change in today's IT environment demands a more comprehensive approach to address both physical and virtual platforms. It's our mission to educate the community on the inherent risks of ineffective practices, the benefits of an efficient program and the tools and resources available to make it as simple and easy as possible.
