Reducing Software Licensing Costs in Virtual & Cloud Infrastructure with Smarter VM Placements
An InformationWeek Financial Services Webcast

Most organizations that license software such as Windows, SQL Server and Oracle on a per processor or per host basis are spending far more than is required on licensing. Because VM placements are typically driven by basic utilization criteria, and not more sophisticated business or technical policies, these software components tend to spread randomly across physical servers, necessitating a large licensing footprint. This creates an opportunity to save in excess of 50% of existing costs, but achieving this requires a fundamental shift in how VM placements are managed within virtual environments.
Join CiRBA CTO & co-founder Andrew Hillier to learn how to contain licenses and control costs with predictive analytics that profile workloads to optimize placements.

Creating an Integrated View: Incorporating MDM Technology into a Legal Entity Identifier Solution
The lack of a standard identification system for financial counterparties makes it difficult for financial firms to develop a consistent and integrated view of their exposures, such as in the case of default of counterparty. This is a challenge not only for firms, but also creates an obstacle for regulators to aggregate and share information to effectively monitor risks. A robust Master Data Management (MDM) solution helps financial institutions implement Legal Entity Identifiers in order to better understand their business and better respond to regulations, like Dodd-Frank.

Attend this live webcast as experts from Kingland Systems and IBM discuss how MDM helps financial institutions get a more complete view of their credit exposure and the governance processes surrounding the new LEI requirement.
