The advent of converged communications - the running of voice, video and data on a single network - has made improved information management a business imperative.
In an industry driven by change, renewal and innovation, organisations often require guidance when responding to changing market demands and the solutions required to address these demands.
Derek Wilcocks, executive director of strategy at Dimension Data, says: "IT is not a luxury; it has to demonstrate value. Organisations therefore have to be aware of how to best manage their storage environments to derive the greatest benefit and in so doing, become more agile and responsive to change."
As a result of changes and developments within the storage market, Dimension Data will host events in Johannesburg and Cape Town focusing on storage consolidation, business continuity and compliance. Delegates will have the opportunity to gain insight from industry thought leaders on how information environments can be best managed to create and sustain a competitive business advantage.
Speakers include Philip Korinek, senior research analyst, hardware and storage systems, IDC CEMA as well as Dimension Data`s executive director: strategy, Derek Wilcocks.
The events will take place in Cape Town on Wednesday, 22 March, and in Johannesburg the following day on Thursday, 23 March. For further information, please contact Jerusiah Naidoo at Dimension Data on (011) 575-3507 or jerusiah.naidoo@za.didata.com.
