Regulatory compliance and risk management are costly and complex, and these efforts are typically managed through manual and disconnected processes within an organization.

In this webcast, we demonstrate how Microsoft System Center Service Manager 2010 can help you automate and simplify the process and activities related to compliance and risk management. During the last portion of the webcast, we have a panel discussion where you can ask experts more about compliance, risk management, and Microsoft solutions that help you address both.

Duration: 60 Minutes

Event Overview
For many customers who are moving from Windows XP and Windows Internet Explorer 6 to the Windows 7 and Windows Internet Explorer 8 operating system and browser, there is a defined value proposition for the migration to Windows 7. But many customers have just inherited Internet Explorer 8 as part of the deal; they haven't actively decided to make the move. However, once they start exploring the features and benefits of Internet Explorer 8, most customers realize that there is a value in migrating to a modern browser that can deliver a significant return on investment, justifying the migration of an organization's application portfolio. In this session, we explore that value proposition and how your organization can benefit from the upgrade.
