Measuring Risk – What Works and What Doesn’t

Regardless of how quantitative your environment might be, be a skeptic about how your organization assesses decisions and risks – ask how they know it works (and consider the consequences if it doesn’t). Whether your current method is your judgment or some more formal method, it has a performance that can – and must – be measured.

The topics for this webinar include:

• The Problem – Why your method may be a “management placebo” and why that is the biggest risk you have
• Problems that many methods ignore – and problems some methods introduce
• What Does Work – Studies reveal some methods show consistent, measurable improvements on the forecasts and decisions of managers
• Examples of Real Improvements
• Overview of Applied Information Economics (AIE) Process
• Common Objections to quantitative methods and the misconceptions behind them
• Questions & Answers

Considered against the size and risk of decisions, better risk analysis will be one of the best investments in your organization.

Infrastructure and IT Storage Assessments

Company infrastructures are continually adapting to rapidly changing technological and business requirements. As a result, Information Technology infrastructures often operate in a less-than-ideal state. Unless they have been properly planned and are correctly managed, these IT infrastructures will deliver sub-optimal performance and value.

New technologies often bring higher densities of equipment, which can overload cooling systems, place heavy demands on power distribution systems, and create cabling nightmares. The exponential growth in data generation and data retention creates an unprecedented need for increased storage capacity. And, inadequate levels of staffing often lead to poor planning and execution, which can cause organizations to lag behind rather than get ahead of the game.

Aliado Accesso and its infrastructure assessment partners will evaluate all facets of your infrastructure and storage systems, from the facility to the disk farm to the server, using a holistic approach. Then, we will help you create a plan to manage, without turmoil, your current infrastructure and future growth in capacity. We have put together a team that can provide you with a single source of infrastructure and storage assessment, planning, and remediation. Our experienced team can take you from the green field to the completed data center, providing you all the requirements for a successful IT implementation.

Webinar topics include:

• Facilities Assessment: address fundamental issues surrounding basic data center space, power, and cooling.
• Wiring Assessment: addresses cabling issues.
• Storage Assessment: current and future storage needs and integration.
• Monitoring Assessment: the advantages of a monitored and managed facility.
