Description:

All organizations are faced with the need to create innovative solutions and offerings that add value to their company and customers. This increasingly means applications need to be more accessible and adaptable; for some organizations, this is a fundamental requirement for maintaining and enhancing market share. In this live webinar, Butler Group and BEA Systems will explore how current IT trends are putting application environments under increasing pressure. They will go on to identify the requirements of IT to support the next generation of application development.

Presenter:

Rob Hailstone, Software Infrastructure Practice Director with Butler Group, will describe the current trends that impact the way applications are used and will illustrate how these result in different work patterns and expectations of the application platform.
Matthew Davies, EMEA Product Director with BEA Systems, will outline the capabilities which will allow an organization to meet the emerging set of performance, scalability and availability criteria, whilst keeping tight control of economic and ‘green’ IT factors. David Jones, Head Architect with Irish Life Investment Managers, will provide the ‘real-world’ context by describing how his organization has aligned business and IT to deliver a more integrated architecture that adapts more quickly to change.
