IT plays a critical role in the rising urgency to respond to market drivers and competition, such as consumerism, transparency, and consumer-oriented Web portals. Likewise, IT is fundamental to increasing operating efficiencies, improving productivity, and reducing costs, all of which directly impact business performance. These mounting pressures have insurance companies allocating greater portions of their operating budgets to IT infrastructure. As IT investment grows, so grows the scrutiny on IT performance. Capacity planning offers a methodical, objective process of determining the IT infrastructure necessary to support changing business requirements. Using capacity planning strategies, IT organizations undergo consolidation and virtualization projects with confidence, grow infrastructure responsibly, stabilize service delivery, reduce risks, and enhance business performance. TeamQuest specializes in IT performance and capacity management software. TeamQuest software helps IT organizations get more from existing infrastructure and accurately plan and provision to support changing business needs. This predictive analysis provides the foundation for a sound, persuasive business case for proposed IT solutions. The ability to forecast demand, predict performance, and optimize the use of existing infrastructure translates into improved customer experiences, greater efficiencies, reduced risk, and increased ROI. www.teamquest.com To learn more about sponsorships for the Insurance & Technology Executive Summit 2008, please contact Felicia Aronov, faronov@techweb.com or 212-600-3019 | |||||||
