Session Descriptions
1. 75 minute session focusing on "Top reasons why Enterprise Management
Projects Fail".
In this session, we detail some of the reasons why over 80% of large scale
EMS projects never get of the ground. Is it Lack of EMS Planning, Over
reliance on tools, Under-appreciation of people chain, Inability to
comprehend Business-IT relationships, or Incomplete Process development - or
all of the above! Using our in-field experiences this session will outline
and probe these mistakes IT organizations continue to make. We will present
real case studies as well as provide the audience an opportunity to share
their "war-stories".
2. Full Day Tutorial : IMPLEMENTING BUSINESS DRIVEN ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
- A Business Driven Approach to Realize Practical Enterprise Management
Solutions
Course Objectives and target audience
We shall explore in detail "best practices" and
sticky-points associated with generating requirements, evaluating and
selecting "right" products, and developing scaleable and workable enterprise
system architectures. We shall also detail the right amount of COTs
configuration, customization, & integration as well as define how to define
and merge key EMS Processes - Help Desk, Configuration, Asset, Problem
Management, Software Distribution & Control, Service Level Management, etc.
Since addressing technical issues is only covering a portion of an
overall problem, we need to explore and understand
network and systems management discipline from a business perspective.
Business issues to be explored will include:
- Engineering "real-world" People Processes
- Mapping Operations skill-mix to Hiring Processes
- Forecasting Operations Costs and Training Expenses
- Cost Reduction Techniques
- Contingency Planing
- Controlling Training Expenditures
- Mitigating Scheduling Risks
- Planning and Justifying an In-house Testing Lab
- Gaining Customer Buy-In
- Maximizing Staff Retention
- Establishing Flexible and Profitable Policies
- Performing Risk Assessment on NOC Systems and Processes
- Integrating IT and NMS strategies

from real life solution that have been or are being designed by Savli Group,
Inc. for its clientele.
