mValent Shares WebSphere and IT Process Automation Techniques with IT Professionals and WebSphere User Group Communities.BURLINGTON, Mass. -- Series of Interactive Events Demonstrate IT Configuration Process Automation Methods Proven to Save IT Departments Significant Time and Money mValent, Inc., the leading provider of IT configuration process automation solutions, announced today that Rob Budas, director of technical services, will be the featured speaker at the New Jersey-Metro WebSphere User Group meeting on Monday, December 6. Budas has been designing, building and installing configuration management systems at Fortune 500 companies for more than a decade. During this interactive session, he will outline best practices and new technologies designed to automate IT processes associated with WebSphere build and deployment. Budas' presentation, "Find it, Fix It, Fast: Five New IT Process Automation Techniques that Ensure WebSphere Success," will take place from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. ET at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. Attendees will learn how to eliminate time-consuming, labor-intensive tasks associated with IT configuration processes and get WebSphere applications into production faster. Budas will demonstrate five new ways to employ IT configuration process automation techniques across the WebSphere application lifecycle which allow users to: --Quickly compare configurations across environments --Automate IT settings to simplify environment set-up and provisioning --Promote and clone clone, group of organisms, all of which are descended from a single individual through asexual reproduction, as in a pure cell culture of bacteria. Except for changes in the hereditary material that come about by mutation, all members of a clone are genetically environments more rapidly --Enforce critical configuration standards across distributed environments --Monitor configurations, and be alerted to out-of-band changes In addition to a technical demonstration, Budas will provide details on how one Fortune 500 company employed these techniques to reduce time to production by more than 50% by automating the tedious and error-prone process of managing configurations. This approach saved the company thousands of man-hours. "Building a bridge from development to operations is a key to a successful WebSphere application deployment. Configuration chaos often leads to errors during this lifecycle that are not detected until the application is deployed into production, which can lead to hours of unnecessary find and fix it work," said Stephane Gagnon, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology's School of Management and head of the NJ-Metro WebSphere User Group. "Process automation reduces errors and ensures that the tribal knowledge Tribal knowledge is any unwritten information that is known within a tribe but often unknown outside of it. Further reading
