Following the interest shown in his speech at the March Brisbane itSMF seminar, Paul Casbolt has been invited to speak at the Gartner Infrastructure, Operations & Data Centre Summit in May.

Drawing on his background in consultancy and project management with various Queensland government agencies, Paul will discuss the increasing demands on IT to provide more operational transparency and tangible value to business services, particularly during these times of increasing governance requirements and the pressures of the current global financial climate. In Paul’s session, The Changing Face of IT, he will confront the inherent challenges and provide practical experience, regarding this increasing demand for accountability in IT.

For over 5 years Paul has been working with the Department of Emergency Services (Qld), initially preparing business cases for the expansion of the department’s Wide Area Network. He then managed the upgrade of LAN and WAN services for the department’s main sites. During this project, Paul developed an interest in measuring network performance, particularly from an end user perspective. Prior to this, Paul worked with Telstra in engineering, consultancy and sales management roles.

The Gartner Infrastructure, Operations & Data Centre Summit will be held, 5-6 May 2009 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. Details for Paul’s session times are as follows:
