As far as buzz words are concerned, “Big Data” is the new “SOA”. A term that is over used and often misunderstood, how does one define the landscape and differentiate between reality and the hype?

Join David as he explores what’s real and what’s possible. Gain a better understanding of “Big Data” and what you need to know in order to make informed decisions.

Hadoop presents a major shift in the fabric of IT data. It will change the way we process and store data as well how it’s managed. Understand the main components of this complex and often confusing architecture and why every major vendor has either implemented or will be implementing some type of integration with Hadoop.

NoSQL technologies are gaining popularity with a wide audience, solving problems differently than traditional RDBM systems. But why are there so many flavors of NoSQL and what problems are they solving? Differentiate between major NoSQL vendors and understood the advantages applied to various use cases.

This 1 hour webinar will help you to understand the current technologies that are generating all this excitement. Let us help you bring some context to the role that this new wave technology might bring to your next project and how the technology will change the way you value your data.

Mobile computing as we know it today is just one application of wireless technology, and a fairly limited one at that.

The iPhone—perhaps the most advanced piece of consumer electronics ever created—is going to look like a fax machine compared to what’s next.

Mobile is a warning shot—the coming wireless wave will profoundly change every aspect of society and potentially redefine what it means to be human.

Join Jonathan Stark (LinkedIn profile) for a hands-on webcast for a look at the past, present, and future—and what we can do to prepare for the revolution.

Sometimes we wonder how Microsoft ever came up with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect enterprise integration platform and Microsoft is the perfect transactional, product-focused, marketing company. It just doesn’t fit, which is the main problem surrounding the poor adoption and use of the most powerful business application on the market, SharePoint 2010.

The reality is, for a large enterprise to gain the competitive advantage and efficiencies SharePoint can provide, it must look at HOW or better yet WHO is driving adoption.

Here is why the SharePoint BA is so critical. It isn’t about governance or basic administration. Yes, those things are important, but they are the chicken before the egg. The egg is USE!!!

We are right in the middle of the transformation of power in IT systems moving from geeks to the users, because the users are becoming geeks. SharePoint is the pinnical of user enabled IT power.

This web seminar will discuss at a high level

  • The vast potential real world applications for SharePoint.
  • ASPE will dig into the traditional role of a business analyst
  • And they will discuss what the roles and responsibilities would be for a SharePoint business analyst

The optimal goal is to provide details on how organizations can increase the use of SharePoint in the enterprise, which will save a significant amount of money and time and lead to much quicker time to market.

Effective PPM Change Management

Share

Live Webinar – June 20th, 2013 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Presented by: Eclipse Project Portfolio Management
Duration: 1 hour 1 PDUs Credits: Category C 1 PDU- Free PDU

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) initiatives are expected to provide significant benefit to multiple roles within an organization.

Intuitively, most staff can understand the potential value in the organization, process and technology changes involved with a PPM initiative. However, the lack of change management practices through a PPM initiative’s implementation is one of the most common reasons for their failure. Symptoms of this issue can include poor executive commitment, resistance or political pressure from functional management and compliance issues with project teams.

Eclipse will review common misconceptions about PPM initiative implementations, provide some guiding principles for successful change and detail the steps and key communication messages necessary to gain buy-in from executive and functional management as well as from project teams.

This webinar will also provide tips that can be incorporated into the initiation and planning of your PPM initiative to increase your odds of success.

Who should attend this webinar?
C-Level Management, IT Directors and Managers or Directors of PMOs
