ICM's Sheri Robinson currently teaches courses on Configuration Management II (CMII) and has over 25 years of experience in processes, operations, and management. She will be presenting information on identifying, "[T]he root causes of corrective action and quantifying the ratio of resources spent on intervention. Attendees will learn conforming results are the norm when requirements are clear, concise and valid, and that a fast and efficient change process is a prerequisite."

Steve Easterbrook from CMPIC has over 30 years of experience with configuration management. Steve will be speaking to the full group about Configuration Management – Preventing Process Meltdown. Steve stated, "I will show how failures in configuration management have resulted in costly errors and real life tragedy, and I will explain how a good configuration management process can reduce corrective action, exposure to negative publicity, avoid lawsuits and, most importantly, save lives."
