IT professionals can quickly review and compare the latest Systems CCM
offerings through EMA's free online IT Management Solutions Center
BOULDER, Colo.-- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), the
leading independent IT management research and consulting firm, today
announced the availability of its new Systems Change and Configuration
Management Solutions Center, part of EMA's IT Management Solutions
Center, a free online resource that provides the industry's most
comprehensive third-party analysis of IT management vendors and
technologies.
The latest addition to the IT Management Solutions Center will help IT
professionals identify areas in an IT infrastructure that should be
considered in a Systems Change and Configuration Management (CCM)
product, understand key functionality issues of today's Systems CCM
solutions, make side-by-side comparisons of vendor offerings and learn
how to tailor a solution to their company's specific IT infrastructure
and needs.
"Today's IT managers face significant challenges in navigating the
complexities of their IT infrastructures. Even if they had the time to
extensively review their environments -- which they don't -- the sheer
magnitude of system, network and application configuration files and
settings makes even a cursory review impractical, if not impossible,"
said Steve Brasen, analyst at EMA. "As a result, IT managers lack the
control necessary to ensure IT stability and cost effectiveness.
Systems CCM solutions provide both the detailed configuration knowledge
and the control necessary to manage change in today's dynamic IT
infrastructures."
EMA's primary research shows that more than 60 percent of critical
system and application outages are caused by faulty changes. Systems
CCM solutions provide IT managers a clear picture of any alteration
made to the IT infrastructure, help determine if these changes have
adversely affected the environment and assist in prompt resolution of
any problems. These solutions come in many different shapes and sizes
and EMA's Systems CCM Solutions Center walks through the process of
selecting the right solution for a particular IT environment.
"There has been continued demand for independent insight into IT
technologies, vendors and products and this new addition to EMA's IT
Management Solutions Center provides another valuable resource to IT
professionals looking to navigate the complexities of today's IT
environments and the ever increasing demands placed on IT by the
business," said Dan Twing, COO of EMA. "We are pleased to offer this
free vendor-neutral resource to IT professionals looking for guidance
on Systems CCM."
EMA's Systems CCM Solutions Center is available now for free to registered users at http://itsolutions.ccm.emausa.com/.
To complement the new Systems CCM Solutions Center, Brasen will be
providing a detailed overview of today's Systems CCM technology and
solutions in a free Webinar, Systems Change and Configuration
Management: A Guide to Choosing Effective Solutions for Today's IT
Challenges, slated for August 28. To register, please visit
