Why Service Management?
In my last post, Eat or be Eaten - IT Transformation Underway, I discussed the transformation IT as we know it is undergoing. Last week I had the opportunity to listen to my good friend Eveline Oehrlich of Forrester present Reboot Service Management as hosted by ITSM Academy, confirming many of the discussion points from my previous post and had me thinking about my next series of posts.

Eat or be Eaten - IT Transformation Underway
Let's end the week with a little tongue in cheek humor. I started the week on a conference call on Monday and as I was looking out the window, a large bird came swooping past my window to land in a tree overlooking my patio. Curiosity of a Scorpion was getting the best of me to figure out what kind of big bird just landed so close. With a handy pair of binoculars I see it is a fairly large owl, that's kinda cool, but what is it doing. It took a minute or two to discern what exactly it was doing, oh no it's eating a mouse or rat. This provided my quote of the week, "Eat or be Eaten".

ATT Live 2012 in Review
Coming off our 10th annual ATT Live, I wanted to share an event review for this year's conference that was held in Las Vegas, May 15th through the 18th.
If you have not had the opportunity to attend ATT Live in the past 10 years then you may not know much about the event. In a nutshell, Training Services has made this the premier technical conference of the year for our customers and partners.
Take a look at what attendees had to say about the event.
