Topics covered during the Webinar include: How complexity and compliance are driving the need for ITIL Why a comprehensive CMDB and automated processes are key to ITIL implementation How to integrate �process� and �data� to improve IT efficiency How to leverage a data center automation solution to cost-effectively accelerate adoption of ITIL best practices To register for the complimentary �Accelerating ITIL Adoption� Webinar, please visit http://www.opsware.com/webinars/WC_06052007_ITIL_Adoption_IDC.html.
