Webcast: Project Portfolio Management
Tuesday, September 21, 2004 – 10:30 AM-11:30 AM Pacific Time
Matt Light, Research Director & Chair, Gartner Project Portfolio Management Research Comm.
Today’s information economy is forcing enterprises to work in new and unfamiliar ways. Running a large enterprise involves running several smaller, process-specific business units and coordinating many separate teams and activities. Project portfolio management (PPM) is being adopted because of its benefits to such project-intensive enterprises. Companies such as Axa Advisors, Campbell Soup and eBay report expense reductions, clear focus on IT business value, improved risk mitigation, quickened prioritization and nimbler resource allocation. Enterprises have even adopted PPM to halt low-value projects, freeing up valuable resources for higher-priority initiatives. Join Microsoft for an informative webcast that will show you how to establish a project portfolio management process, including alignment of IT to business strategy, funding important projects while quickly resolving less important ones, leveraging the right resources to boost productivity, and making informed decisions to minimize risk and increase ROI.

Webcast: Using Active Directory for a Competitive Business Advantage
Tuesday, September 28, 2004 - 8:00 AM-9:00 AM Pacific Time
Ace Swerling, Director, Systems Engineer, Avenade
Many businesses today realize the advantages of tying together corporate applications to automate business processes. Yet such implementation scenarios face many difficult challenges: lack of interoperability between applications within companies due to isolation; difficulty in establishing application relationships between business entities; and the great expense of maintaining the number of computers required. To overcome all these obstacles, a single entry point is needed through which everything can be managed, including software configuration, security, and processes. This can be accomplished by networking everything through a virtual space, represented by a directory, which establishes and maintains relationships among individual applications and computers while enforcing standard configurations. In this webcast, learn how the appropriate implementation of Microsoft Active Directory® can mitigate many problems inhibiting these implementations.
