Configuration Management – what should it do for me?
Tuesday 9th March 2010
A 1 day event with speakers and workshops.
This event has been postponed.
Synopsis
This one day conference will concentrate on the practical benefits of Configuration management - how it makes our workplace a better place to work in and promotes our careers.
It focuses on managing the impact of change in complex environments, at what automation and auto-discovery can and can't do to help us, at the skills and techniques we'll need, and at how previous interactive sessions tell us that configuration management must address the cultural issues around organisational change.
With a mix of presentations and interactive sessions from experienced subject experts, this one day conference is a great opportunity to learn from and network with peers and colleagues.
Time and Location
The event takes place at the BCS London Office, 5 Southampton Street.
The cost for members is £45 (+VAT) and for non-members is £75 (+VAT)
