NEW YORK, April 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A free webinar from Neebula Systems on April 17 will address the issue of how information technology (IT) organizations can minimize the impact of changes on availability of their critical applications.
More than 80 percent of incidents and problems in IT result from changes, even when those are approved through an official change management process. Why is this an unfortunate reality in most IT organizations today? What can IT operations managers and executives do to change the status-quo?
Ariel Gordon, co-founder and chief technology officer of Neebula, will analyze the issue of change management and offer tips for radically improving the change management process.
"It's a great irony that change management is intended to protect the availability of critical applications and a sad reality that so often changes to IT infrastructure actually result in service disruptions," said Gordon. "The one thing that is clear is that IT has to regain control over the change management process."
The webinar will cover:
· A review of standard change management processes;
· Key issues that undermine the change management process;
· Recommended process changes and tools to address the key issues.
