For anyone out there in the community who will be attending MMS in Vegas, dont forget to check my session out, I will be doing a very special talk around some of the work I have been doing with my OpsMgr customers in the area of SLA Scorecarding.
This has been a growing request amongst the businesses that I have been involved with over the years, "My boss complains that he has no visibility in what we do", " He doesnt appreciate all the hard work I do", are common threads that I hear.
Well, I am planning on changing all that with a new offering that my company (inframon.com) has around providing Executive reporting from your OpsMgr Datawarehouse, so make sure you check it out, and drop me a line if this something that intersts you.

The scorecards can show whether important KPI's are being achieved and whether your IT department is meeting the day to day needs of the business. The key demos in this session will take you through the steps needed to implement effective business scorecarding in Sharepoint 2007 using metrics collected in the Operations Manager 2007 Datawarehouse based on "real-world" experiences gained inthe field. After attending this presentation you will have a good insight into how CIO Scorecards can really help add value to Operations Manager deployments, providing real value to IT executives.
