The ONE place to be in October! If you’re involved in IT infrastructure, you need to be in Earls Court 2 at IP EXPO in October.

The Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) brings together the brightest IT professionals from around the world to increase their technical expertise through deep hands-on training, best-practice sharing, and interaction with innovators in desktop, device, and datacenter management, as well as cloud technologies.

Enterprise architects have one of the most complex jobs in the organisation. Their role is to understand both the needs and strategy of the business and translate this into a practical roadmap for IT delivery and transformation.

During this conference, IDC will explore both sides of the coin:

• How business trends are transforming the way that IT needs to be delivered within the organisation; and
• How new technology trends are driving transformation.

Take a coffee break with IPM and Centrix Software on Friday, March 1 at noon EST and learn how understanding application usage will reduce migration complexity and costs, as well as how to leverage proven operational processes to architect the optimal infrastructure. All attendees receive a $10 Starbucks gift card.

Barry Flanagan will be joined by Simon Bramfitt, the Founder and Research Director of Entelechy Associates to review the challenges of application sprawl and the costs associated with unused apps.
