Title:   “How to Mitigate the Performance Risk of Third-party Web Components”

When:    Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Time:      1 p.m. Eastern time

Presenters:    Mike Gualtieri, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research; Steve Tack, CTO, Compuware APM

Why:    No website is an island. To provide rich customer experiences, websites increasingly depend on third-party components such as shopping carts, ads, customer reviews, web analytics, social networking, search engine optimisation, video and many more. Third-party components enrich website functionality to drive more traffic to sites, offer interactive experiences, increase conversion and add new functionality when it becomes available.

The problem: An organization’s entire website can be vulnerable to degraded performance or a complete shutdown if any one of these components fails. The solution is to follow best practices in website design and monitoring to happily use third-party components while mitigating the risk of dependency.

What:    During this free webcast, attendees will learn:

•   How third-party components can make your website better and why this trend will only increase;
•   Why service-level agreements give you a false sense of security; and
•   Best practices to mitigate the risks of using third-party components.
