DESCRIPTION

Given the dynamic changes in the competitive landscape today, organizations face huge challenges in aligning their IT infrastructure with their business needs. This session will help participants understand how SOI (Services Oriented Infrastructure) and SOM (Services Oriented Management) can enable IT infrastructure to be orchestrated to meet business needs. The significance of this approach is that organizations can achieve this in a short timeframe to setup the required infrastructure for any specific need, including cost of building and managing all components. Majumdar will explain this with a framework, and highlight how organizations can enable alignment using this approach.
