The pressure has never been greater on IT executives to reduce spending while improving service levels. This webinar will focus on the issues of cost containment facing IT today. Evelyn Hubbert, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research will provide a big picture view of the current environment developed from her conversations with IT executives across industries. She will discuss the challenges faced and what innovative companies are doing in response. She will break down some specific areas to investigate for immediate savings. Included in that list will be a discussion on how to pull out costs through automation of processes and where automation tools can be used in place on expensive “script-based” approaches.

Following Evelyn’s presentation, Daniel Nelson, VP of Products at Phurnace Software, will build upon her explanations and present a very specific area for immediate cost containment – java application deployment automation. Daniel will focus his presentation on a series of real world case studies of how companies have quickly seen an ROI and reduced costs with Phurnace’s deployment and configuration application.

With all of the automated processes and tools for building, releasing, monitoring, and optimizing web applications, there is still an automation gap that exists. When a web app is handed off from Development to IT Operations, too many times it falls through the cracks and creates miscommunication. In other instances, IT turns to a collection of homegrown scripts to roll out the apps and set up the environments. This is happening week in and week out on physical servers, in virtual images and will greatly limit the adoption of enterprise cloud computing.

In this webinar, Rachel Chalmers from the 451 Group will give an overview of the big picture and the current state of tools and infrastructure for automating data center processes. The gap that exists will be exposed and explored. Daniel Nelson from Phurnace Software will then present a solution for filling the gap – deployment automation that delivers J2EE applications and sets all of the parameters in the web app server container -- therefore reducing errors, increasing the speed of application deployment and enabling the on-ramping of apps to the Cloud.

Why is it so easy to find and use information in a Portal but so hard to deploy an application into a Portal? Well guess what! Today it is easy to configure and deploy your applications with Phurnace Software's WebSphere Portal Deliver. In this Webinar, Richard Gornitsky from IBM will discuss how WebSphere Portal applications are deployed today by customers then, Daniel Nelson from Phurnace will explain how configuration and deployments are simplified and sped up with Phurnace WebSphere Portal® Deliver™.

IBM WebSphere Portal® is a powerful solution that enables custom portal creation for internal and external audiences. However, with all this power comes complexity as users update, add and change content, themes, skins, portlets and more. This complexity can slow the deployment and time to value for portal implementations. Phurnace Software has an automated deployment and configuration tool that dramatically speeds the application changes and updates for IBM WebSphere Portal®.
