SEATTLE, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptiva, the market leader in smart scaling systems management, will reveal key Microsoft System Center Configuration (ConfigMgr) automation strategies at this year's Midwest Management Summit (MMS) in Minneapolis, MN. Over the course of two conference sessions, the company will share best practices and real-world use cases that will cover practical skills for speeding software distribution using ConfigMgr. On the opening day of the Summit, Gary Walker, Adaptiva's director of customer experience for North America, will join Jason Sandys and Kent Agerlund, two of the world's foremost Configuration Manager experts, in an in-depth seminar on how to use Configuration Manager in the real world. The session will cover the changes in ConfigMgr Current Branch, how to build and maintain a solid ConfigMgr infrastructure, and how to manage Windows 10 operating system (OS) deployments.
Additionally, Adaptiva will host a CTO Talk with Steven Capper, global CTO of AECOM, who was chosen as CIO of the Year by Computing Magazine and Runner Up in the UK IT Awards CIO of the Year 2015-16. In this discussion, attendees will learn real-world examples of how to speed OS migrations and software deployments across the enterprise. The speakers will demonstrate some of the technologies, processes and scripts companies can use to provide an end-to-end, zero-touch operating system migration. Capper will also discuss the role that ConfigMgr plays in managing and automating AECOM's 100,000+ person, globally distributed IT landscape.
