Thursday, September 8, 2011

(Breakfast will be served)

Where:  
Signature Grand

Registration now OPEN!

Salt & Pepper, Chocolate & Peanut Butter, Hammer and Nails, Nuts & Bolts, ITIL & CoBIT… Some things just work better together! 

Let’s face it; those of us who have been working on implementing ITIL have obtained plenty of knowledge on HOW to work through the processes for successful ITSM processes. But how do we measure success? Are we passing our IT Audits… with flying colors? What are the controls and metrics to use in order to assess our results? The Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (CobIT) framework helps with WHAT is needed for success, and WHAT is needed to get there. The ITIL and CobIT frameworks in fact complement each other in the measure of Critical Success Factors. 

Don’t miss this informative conference, where we will delve further into putting into practice a united front where CobIT and ITIL lead us to ITSM Success!
