Pay as You Grow Data Protection
Live Event Date: June 25, 2013 @ 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT In the last year, stored data volumes are growing at an accelerated rate, driven by new data sources and applications. Small and medium sized businesses are challenged with the same data growth issues as larger enterprises that will likely affect existing backup and recovery process, but often have less management resources, which causes a need for an automated, scalable data protection and recovery solution that integrates a number of critical components, is cost effective, and easily implemented. An integrated, advanced data protection solution by IBM has been purposely designed to offer simplified ways to acquire and deploy comprehensive data protection capabilities through a pricing model based on actual capacity under management after data compression and de-duplication processes have been applied. Join this webcast to hear analyst John Webster from Evaluator Group discuss the data protection requirements for the small or medium business (SMB) IT administrator and an IBM product suite that includes the advanced functionality of solutions designed for the enterprise data center, but is offered in a way that is easily implemented and consumed by small and medium businesses. IBM offers a pricing model based on actual capacity under management after data compression and deduplication processes have been applied, rewarding operational environments that strive for greater storage efficiency. Featured Speakers: John Webster, Evaluator Group Michael Barton, IBM Howard M. Cohen, QuinStreet moderator

Did you know that smart firms are focused on driving revenue growth based on brand differentiation, new services, leveraging technology and exploiting niche opportunities?

What counts is how your people deliver across every touch point with clients from the top to bottom of the organization. This is your brand – not your logo or corporate colors – it's about your values, your people and their behavior. Growing your brand value is a long road, with obstacles along the way, but when your people truly live the brand, the impact on the bottom line can be dramatic. During this event, you'll hear from: Richard Chaplin, founder and CEO, Managing Partners' Forum, on living the values of a well-managed firm, Anthony Kendall, strategy director, Brand Finance, on implementing a brand strategy, Eric van Rossum, vice president of professional services business unit, SAP, on the role technology plays in brand value.
