"E-mail Migration, Monitoring and Management: Servicing the World’s Leading Eye Care Company"
Lee Dumas, Director of Architecture
AZALEOS (www.azaleos)
ABSTRACT: Mr. Dumas will present the story of how Ft. Worth-based Alcon migrated all 19,000 of its worldwide employees onto Exchange 2007 while at the same time reducing its Exchange administrators from 8 to 1. Their adoption of a remotely managed email system allowed them to save money, adopt cutting edge technology and re-direct IT resources to alternative, mission-critical projects.
BIO: Lee Dumas is the Director of Architecture at Azaleos, and has been involved with Exchange and messaging for over 13 years — first as a core member of the Exchange development team at Microsoft and then in various consulting roles. He specializes in architecture and operations specific to Exchange and Active Directory, and is also proficient in other Exchange-related technologies like UM, OCS, and mobile devices. Most recently, before joining Azaleos, Lee spent seven years in "real world" deployment engagements in which he helped companies, ranging from a handful of seats up to multinational corporations with 60,000 or more seats, get Exchange messaging running smoothly. Lee is a pioneer MCA Ranger and has been part of the program since it first expanded outside of Microsoft four years ago.
Azaleos knows Exchange
Azaleos Corporation, based in Seattle, WA, was founded in 2004 by senior executives from Microsoft with a very strong understanding of Microsoft® Exchange and the market for enterprise e-mail. The goal of the company today remains the same as it was back in 2004 --- to provide a comprehensive maintenance and management solution which simplifies Microsoft Exchange for IT. Azaleos has comprehensive knowledge and expertise regarding the complexity of the Exchange application as well as our customers' need for a highly available Exchange environment that 'just works'. Azaleos also knows that companies want to maintain control of their Exchange application and e-mail, while removing the burden of ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and update management from IT resources who can be better utilized supporting core business functions and new initiatives. Azaleos technology simplifies the Exchange environment through standardization, so deployment is fast and easy, and the solution is inherently scalable.
Where is Azaleos? Azaleos currently has Exchange e-mail services deployed and utilized by customers with users located in the US, Canada, Europe, Latin America, South America, Asia and Australia. Azaleos is able to offer a fully operable Exchange Server experience to both corporate and branch office locations throughout much of the world.

"Managing IT Infrastructure & Application to Ensure Service Availability"
Steve Guthrie, Director
CA www.ca.com
Abstract: When a problem hits your IT services, your business can come to a screeching halt. How do you identify the source of the problem? Is it the network? A web application? A database? Is it a small issue or system-wide? Do you frequently organize an IT support conference call? Is there ever a “blame game” or finger pointing?
With your business and public image at stake, you’re pressured to deliver business-critical IT services as effectively and efficiently as possible. What you need is visibility into and control over your IT infrastructure. This includes the ability to correlate events across technology silos to accurately determine the root cause of IT service outages and identify negative performance trends before they impact customers, business processes and SLAs. Attend this presentation and learn how you can provide a real-time, proactive and predictive approach to IT – and stop the guessing game in your organization.
BIO: Steven Guthrie has spent the past decade in the networking and telephony markets as an active participant in the emergence of LANs, WANs and IP technologies and most recently with real-time IP communications such as voice and video over IP. In his role at CA, he is primarily responsible for understanding how enterprises, service providers and government agencies use network and voice management solutions and communicating these experiences and industry best practices to help other organizations optimize their converged network investments and achieve high end-user satisfaction
