Hoping that 2021 is off to a great start for all of you. We have been busy at Vivit helping you get up to speed on the latest features around the Micro Focus ADM and ITOM software solutions. There have been many operational incidents in the news recently that were caused by technology currency issues. Technology currency is the ongoing process of understanding how current an item of software is compared to the latest available version. Managing this is critical for organizations as they have the constant need to balance the cost of this maintenance vs. the risk posed. So look to your User Group, Vivit Worldwide, to help you navigate through these challenging decisions.

How do we do that? We have shared content virtually with you since the inception of Vivit through our Special Interest Group (SIG) webinars, but since March of last year, we have expanded our local user group events virtually as well. We have heard first hand from the experienced technical resources at Micro Focus how simple it is to keep software versions current and operating at maximum efficiency. By being a User Group Community, you don’t just want to hear from the vendors in this ecosystem. What matters and is relevant to you, the User is understanding what your peers are seeing, how they are managing these risks at their companies, and what pitfalls they have faced that may save you and your colleagues from making those same mistakes. Fortunately for you, our member base consists of some of the brightest in the industry and those that are willing to give back for your benefit.

Watch the on-demand recordings or register for an upcoming event featuring:

• Petar Puskarich, Performance Engineering SIG Leader, and VP, Performance Engineering Manager for a large financial institution sharing how they used LoadRunner to ensure business continuity after the majority of their workforce went remote
• Joe Madden, Local User Group Leader, and Principal Greenlight Group sharing the value and challenges of what automation can bring to customers and providing a deeper dive into Robotics Process Automation
• Mike Willett, Vivit member and Consultant, Olenick & Associates sharing how and why he recommends LoadRunner to his clients while exploring a use case at a large energy company
• Randy Hozeski, Vivit member and Digital Test Automation Engineer at Haworth sharing a customers’ approach to working with UFT One and AI

Just to name a few! Want to highlight your company at an upcoming event? Reach out to your Americas LUG/SIG Liaison Teri Sarallo at teri.sarallo@vivit-worldwide.org.

We are here to serve you and know that we are stronger together.
