This webinar is intended for IT managers and managers of the functional areas which are interested in implementing a process that optimizes and manages the Oracle e-Business Suite patching processes, thereby reducing the associated risks of applying, or not applying, change to their Oracle e-Business Suite.

Webinar: The Supply Management Promise
Speaker: Paul Vallee, President, Pythian
Businesses in many sectors regularly apply supply management techniques that achieve annual savings of 10% or more in their contracts with suppliers. Yet these annual savings are rarely experienced in the field of IT infrastructure management; in fact, most long-term contracts in this field include inflationary clauses rather than anticipated savings. Using database infrastructure management as an example, Paul Vallee will illustrate how supply management techniques can be extended to the field of IT infrastructure management, to place enhanced purchasing power in the hands of infrastructure managers.
