Leading Organizations Join with IAOP to Launch IT Infrastructure Chapter

Oct. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Poughkeepsie, NY, Oct. 21, 2011 — The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) announces the launch of its newest virtual chapter, IT Infrastructure. The inaugural meeting will take place October 26, 2011 beginning at 11:00 a.m. EDT, and feature the presentation "Mobility Management - How Companies Are Rethinking Expenses Management, Data Privacy Compliance and Revenue Enablement," by Mike Beals, the COO of M-Core.
The IT Infrastructure chapter is chaired by Blazent Software, Aviva, CSC, Enlighta and TPI.
“With the continued growth of the industry and the rapid pace of technological change, today's IT infrastructure environments pose numerous challenges,” said IAOP CEO Debi Hamill. “We’re looking forward to having an IAOP chapter dedicated to tackling these issues head on.”
“Today’s economic environment, and the cost cutting measures associated, the introduction of cloud computing and mobile expansion, among other things, make it increasingly difficult to manage and drive value through ITO contracts,” said Jeff McCauley, of Blazent. “The Infrastructure Chapter is focused on helping companies and vendors alike understand how to better govern their contracts, stay in touch with best practices, and review emerging technologies and trends that will drive efficiencies and value.”
The webinar will also give a brief introduction of the chapter, review the chapter charter and governance team, and hold a discussion of potential future chapter meeting topics and schedule polling questions for the audience regarding future topics and the Mobility Management presentation.
The webinar is free and open to users, advisors and providers of outsourcing services who are professional or corporate members of IAOP. IAOP also offers complimentary Associate Membership which allows you to attend up to two chapter meetings as our guest and access select online resources.  Visit www.IAOP.org to register.
