Webinar – Automated Development & Test in a Private Cloud: Making it Work in Your World

Thursday, July 25, 2013 – 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. CDT (GMT -6:00)

Hear from VMware IT leaders on how they made the changes into the roles, process, organization structure, governance and business model to make their move of dev and test to a private cloud IaaS a success. You’ll hear from the people who were ‘hands-on’ in implementing the technology and transforming the organization; they achieved the cost savings and operational efficiencies that we all aspire to.

This webcast is aimed at practitioners working to improve their IT organizations. As an added bonus, we’ll cover the highlights of this story as it will be presented at VMworld 2013 – a sneak peek to one of the event’s biggest sessions!
