Achieve IT Effectiveness Through Analytics
 Dennis Drogseth
Vice President, Enterprise Management Associates
Sateesh Narahari
Director, Configuresoft
Manually analyzing the IT configuration data, change logs, patch levels across servers is nearly impossible for IT staff who are supporting more servers per staff than ever before. However, there is a greater need to understand which configurations are at risk for vulnerabilities, what changes are causing most problems, and which IT assets are most expensive to support. The result is that IT staff is often overworked and makes decisions based on gut feel than on real data. Dennis Drogseth and Sateesh Narahari share their insights on how Configuration Intelligence Analytics from Configuresoft can help organizations master the challenge of analyzing massive amounts of IT configuration, change and patch data.
