AOTMP to Host Largest Educational and Networking Event for Telecom and IT End Users.

INDIANAPOLIS -- AOTMP, the authority on standards and best practices for telecom management, announced plans to host a second annual telecom environment management conference April 28-May 1, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. TEM 2008 will bring together telecom and IT professionals for educational sessions and networking events for those holding responsibility for selecting, reviewing, recommending, and managing telecom services and technology.

Conference attendees will hear presentations from industry thought leaders, corporate telecom and IT leaders, AOTMP experts, and others. Attendees will also choose from an in-depth line up of breakout sessions focused on improving enterprise telecom and IT operations. Breakout sessions received high praise following last year's TEM 2007 conference, and even more breakout sessions have been added to the 2008 agenda.

Also new to the 2008 conference is the addition of live polling. Interactive communication tools will be used during select sessions to enable conference attendees to tap into the industry knowledge and experiences of other attendees.

"Our sessions featuring live polling will add an exciting dynamic to the conference," said Tim Colwell, AOTMP Vice President of Knowledge Operations and conference chairperson. "Attendees will have the opportunity to help benchmark some of the industry's crucial processes against AOTMP standards and best practices, and understand how their business operations fit in the industry mean."

Conference sessions will focus on best practices to meet telecom operational objectives in the areas of: technical integrity, financial accuracy, customer support, strategic organizational support; strategies for effective management; establishing metrics for managing telecom assets; selecting the right technology, and evaluating and implementing enterprise TEM plans.

"We had tremendous feedback from last year's conference, and are very excited about incorporating more of what attendees found most valuable into this year's event," said Tim Lybrook, AOTMP President and CEO. "The participation and enthusiasm from our attendees really goes a long way in making the conference a success, and a valuable learning experience."

AOTMP will also offer five different Specialty Certification programs on-site at the conference. Each program requires six hours of education and successful completion of an online certification exam following the training. Programs offered include: Technology Selection, Wireless Management, Inventory Development, Telecom Management Strategies, and Contract Negotiations.
