"Managed Services and the Productivity Imperative"
Why managed services are the fastest route to increasing enterprise productivity at a lower cost
An InformationWeek WebCast
Sponsored by: Qwest
One of the most important lessons resulting from the recent economic meltdown is that corporations can, in fact, find ways to deliver both higher value services to employees while also saving on costs. One of the best examples of limiting capital and operating expenditures is through the deployment of managed services for voice, data and network operations, where enterprises rely on third-parties to optimize critical systems and also assure higher performance levels. A recent industry research study found 70% of corporate executives and IT managers expressed confidence that investing in voice, data and networks operations improves efficiencies and reduces costs in order to be better prepared for an economic recovery.
Our upcoming webcast will show exactly how enterprises can realize these important and timely benefits.

Complete End User Visibility - Overcoming IT Challenges to Align With the Business
An InformationWeek WebCast
Is the performance level of your organizationıs most critical end-user applications meeting the needs of your customers? Decades of IT investments, career opportunities and the perception of the entire IT organization all come down to this simple question. The increasing complexity of IT makes complete end user visibility more challenging than ever for IT decision makers. In todayıs increasingly web-driven business world, the performance of your IT applications is more and more the foundation of your entire business.
Traditional network performance and availability monitoring tools are not integrated. Worse yet, they often show the IT infrastructure performing at SLAs, but in reality your end-users might be receiving less than desirable response times from their applications and you will have to react to a costly user service request. True end-user visibility ensures that your IT organization is proactively monitoring the availability and performance of your end user experience across the entire IT enterprise. The benefits of true end user visibility include exceeding delivery against SLAs, lowering resource and IT maintenance costs, improving your infrastructure utilization, and IT as a revenue driver and key enabler for business success.

Reducing Operating Costs Through Branch Consolidation
An InformationWeek Webcast
As the weather turns wintry across the country, IT departments are searching for signs of an early thaw to the frozen budgets that have reigned for the past year and more. In the meantime, new strategies for reducing costs continue to occupy the minds of technology professionals, as they stretch resources to the limit to meet the needs of internal and external clients.
Now those barriers to reducing costs and improving branch operations are finally coming down, as companies avail themselves of new technology that streamlines WAN traffic, making it possible to speed up data links between far-flung regional outposts and consolidated IT infrastructure and resources at the home office. This newfound network capacity -- often accomplished without costly bandwidth upgrades -- is already paying dividends. In this live Webcast, youıll hear how IT organizations are gaining the ability to completely virtualize their branch office operations, achieving a "serverless" state that eliminates redundant hardware and software, while slashing maintenance costs and IT complexity.
