(ISM) today announced that William "Bill" Banks, CGEIT, will be speaking at HP Software Universe on Wednesday, June 17 at 9:00am. The financial and operational benefits of virtualization are real, but the accompanying management challenges are equally real. This session - Enterprise Governance in a Virtual World -- will identify six (6) of the most significant IT management challenges introduced or complicated by virtualization.

Attendees will leave this session with:

ISM, under Bill Banks' direction, not only has the unparalleled ability to implement the technical aspects of a virtualization initiative, but has also extended the IT business processes in its Framework for IT Success (a.k.a.
