ACI Engagement Workshop
BTA's ACI Engagement Workshop cuts through the hype, focusing on business
requirements and real technological capabilities, to deliver actual business benefit and
technical expertise. Start your next generation data center here.
The Workshop follows a proven, structured process that
starts with Your Business. Any technology decision exists to
support the Business, so we'll begin by talking with
executives and business owners to identify business
processes and applications.
Next we'll examine the current IT environment with the
Technical Teams: the infrastructure, its processes, and its
challenges.
Once the business drivers & technical concerns have been
identified, we'll look at ACI. A BTA Architect will discuss ACI's
technology & capabilities, but most importantly how those
would help you meet your business requirements.
