Voyence, Customers and Partners Providing Educational Seminars on ITIL and Network Management Best Practices

Voyence, along with MCI, Agiliti, Cuna Mutual, CNT and eBook author Don Jones to present educational seminars across the US.

Richardson, TX, January 27, 2003 — Voyence™ Inc., the leading provider of network configuration management solutions, today announced an educational seminar series aimed at helping IT professionals make sense of ITIL and best practices surrounding network configuration, change and compliance management.

In this free half day seminar, Don Jones, well-known author and speaker, and David Schrodel, Voyence CTO, will present on defining business rules and implementing best practices to gain and maintain network compliance with corporate governance. Voyence customers, including Agiliti, MCI, CNT and Cuna Mutual will present case studies on the benefits of automating network configuration, change and compliance management. Customers and partners, including Agiliti and MCI, will host the seminars at their facilities.

“Attending the half day seminar is a great way to get started with ITIL and gain an understanding of how to implement and enforce business rules to improve all aspects of IT and network management,” said Don Jones, founding partner of BrainCore.Net and the author of nearly a dozen major computer books, including The Definitive Guide to Network Configuration and Change Management.

“Compliance with government regulations has thrown IT into the spotlight and has helped increase IT budgets in recent years,” said David Schrodel, CTO, Voyence. “While auditing is one component of compliance, the more strategic value is derived from proactive validation and automated remediation of compliance violations.”
The seminar series will show IT professionals how to make the most of the business focus on compliance by positioning IT as strategic to business success. Sessions include:

• Customer success with network configuration management.
  
• Compliance and Remediation – Don Jones will show how to create and enforce business rules to provide value beyond merely meeting compliance and remediation requirements.
  
• Best Practices in Network Configuration Management – David Schrodel will explore utilizing Best Practices, including ITIL, to position IT as business leaders in the organization.
  
• Network configuration and change management demonstration around compliance with corporate governance.

The seminars will take place in cities across the US and eventually Europe. Currently seminars are scheduled for Chicago, St. Paul, Seattle and Las Vegas. More information can be found at by clicking here.
