Enterprises are increasingly leveraging the Internet to deliver mission-critical applications. From extranet portals to ERP systems, these applications need to reach distributed users ranging from employees to business partners to customers. And they need to be available anywhere, anytime. Yet performance, availability and security bottlenecks can negatively impact these applications at a moment’s notice. What’s more, the drive towards consolidated infrastructure contradicts varied application performance priorities. All of this creates many challenges in balancing IT costs while ensuring users are happy.

• How are enterprise IT executives addressing these challenges?
• Where are they optimizing architecture for the best application performance?
• What lessons have other IT executives learned that can help you?
  

The answers are at Computerworld's IT Management Summit on Application Delivery Services.

Why You Should Attend
You'll learn from expertly delivered presentations and case studies.  In one focused morning, you'll rapidly gather answers to the most critical questions IT executives have about optimizing application performance in today's Internet enabled enterprise.
