Organizations worldwide are experiencing the blurring of traditional lines between IT and the business - and a more important distinction now is related to the way IT and the business communicate. There is truly a major shift in the way IT services are provided and managed.

The phenomenon of convergence is affecting several aspects of IT operations and management, whether it’s the convergence of consumer and enterprise technologies with BYOD - and the associated benefits and risks – or the convergence between data and ever increasing voice and video traffic. The phenomenon of convergence is a result of our increasingly complex business service needs, and it is directly affecting business revenue.

Join Gary Beach, Executive Editor at CIO to discuss appropriate responses for the desire of IT leadership teams to compete at the highest evolutionary level in this new game; use the increasing business service complexity with convergence as an opportunity to shift your IT department from infrastructure and software maintenance teams, to a proactive, forward-looking, innovative team that drives real business value as a recognized contributor to the business.

Go big. IT with impact!

This webcast has been developed with IT leaders in the healthcare industry in mind and will focus on key industry issues including: How do you solve the most perplexing problem in Healthcare IT – keeping IT budgets flat or lower while delivering innovation?
What if you could lower costs by transforming the way you develop and test applications and monitor actual application performance? What if this approach also enabled you to test your interfaces into the new HIXs in time to meet tight deadlines (Health Information Exchanges)?

Join CA Technologies and Harris Corporation on February 28 for an interactive webcast and learn how CA Technologies is supporting healthcare organizations and has become a leader in one of the newest and most compelling technologies in the area of Service Virtualization while continuing to lead in delivering Application Performance Monitoring.

In many IT organizations, those tasked with building applications are separated from the production teams that actually care for the live applications in operations. This typical, yet siloed approach can negatively impact your ability to innovate quickly by spending time on firefighting problems and escalating issues between teams – creating an unproductive, digital hot potato game. What’s needed is a modern DevOps approach that enables you to introduce application quality early in the lifecycle and knock down the silos between the application development and operations teams to achieve better efficiency, accelerate time to market and boost application quality.

Join Julie Craig, Research Director at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) on February 28 for an informative discussion about using APM in pre-production in addition to your production environments; the implications, key considerations for organizations and how it can have a major impact on your business success and revenue.

Despite the maturity of the market, Enterprise Network Management Systems (ENMS) solutions continue to play a vital role in today’s large enterprise, and not just in older/mature IT shops.

In Enterprise Management Associates’ (EMA) Radar Report, 16 current ENMS solutions coming from 15 vendor providers were reviewed and compared according to a broad range of measures regarding both product strength and overall cost efficiency, as well as in terms of the overall strength of the vendors themselves.

CA Technologies Infrastructure Management solution was ranked as a Value Leader, a distinction for solutions that achieved the best combinations of product strength and cost efficiency. EMA also deemed CA IM worthy of special recognition as having Best Extensibility – Large Deployments. CA Technologies customers raved specifically about how they appreciated capabilities within CA’s IM solution for adding, testing, and certifying new management interfaces, without requiring direct services or support from CA Technologies.

Join, EMA analyst and ENMS Radar author, Jim Frey on a February 26, as he discusses the research he conducted on the ENMS solutions featured in the report and his findings in CA’s IM offering.
