Process Maturity as a discipline leads to frameworks like ITIL and goal-driven capability levels like CMMi. Managed Services leveraging outsourcing allows rapid re-engineering of selected data center operations. Consolidation, clustering, virtualization and hosting of server and storage need engineering excellence. Well-designed Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is a core requirement for Wall Street companies. How do Wall Street executives manage these demands and what are the corresponding best-of-breed operational solutions offered by vendors are the key focus areas of this seminar.

The benefits of establishing a comprehensive risk management strategy have been shown to more than offset the costs. As part of this strategy it is also essential to achieve compliance with the growing number of industry standards that address these issues. By adopting a strong risk/crisis management posture, your firm can ensure customer trust, your brand reputation and your bottom line. By attending this seminar you will learn the value of implementing risk management solutions versus the risks of not doing so.
