Featured Speaker"Managing IT Infrastructure & Application to Ensure Service Availability"Steve Guthrie, DirectorCAwww.ca.com Abstract: When a problem hits your IT services, your business can come to a screeching halt. How do you identify the source of the problem? Is it the network? A web application? A database? Is it a small issue or system-wide? Do you frequently organize an IT support conference call? Is there ever a blame game or finger pointing?
