Optimize Business and IT: IT Resource Planning for Higher IT Productivity
IT organizations are under tremendous pressure to provide the enabling technologies to drive business strategies. Often, the success of IT is dependent more on herculean effort than strong process discipline and effective use of technology. However, in today's globally connected world, IT organizations must change their approach if they want to continue to be a provider of value to their organization. This presentation will talk about the issues and challenges that today's IT shops face, and how emerging best practices and new technologies can help turn IT into a business enabler.

6 Best Practices to Successfully Integrate Business and IT
Business and IT integration is achieved when IT maximizes its contribution to business goals like revenue and risk management while minimizing its cost basis. Clear enough? Using the three examples of portfolio management, outsourcing, and test management this presentation will show how modern IT organizations achieve business and IT integration by linking IT processes to business outcome, leveraging the service strategy concepts of ITIL v3.

Metrics That Matter – Selecting Metrics That Drive Service Improvement
There is no shortage of ITSM metrics in the ITIL books. The question often faced by many organizations that are planning to or have implemented ITIL is "what are the best set of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to use?“ The reality is there is no one standard set of metrics that is right for everyone. The best metrics are the ones that support and drive a specific set of business objectives. In this session, you will learn a "goal-driven" approach for selecting the best set of metrics for your organization. Using examples and case studies, the speaker will illustrate that picking the right metrics and KPIs does not need to be daunting task.
