Business Wire, May 24, 2007

Complimentary Webinar to Discuss Automation's Role in Implementing and Enforcing ITIL

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Opsware Inc. (NASDAQ:OPSW), the leading provider of Data Center Automation software, today announced a complimentary Webinar on accelerating ITIL adoption, featuring IDC Research Manager, Stephen Elliot, on June 5th at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET.

To meet business expectations and deliver services with higher quality, IT has turned to best practices like ITIL which improve service support and delivery. However, ITIL implementations often fail because it is difficult to manually collect data and coordinate ITIL processes across multiple teams and applications. IDC analyst Stephen Elliot will detail why automation is critical to successful ITIL implementations including the integration of data, process automation and change execution.

Topics covered during the Webinar include:

* How complexity and compliance are driving the need for ITIL

* Why a comprehensive CMDB and automated processes are key to ITIL implementation

* How to integrate "process" and "data" to improve IT efficiency

* How to leverage a data center automation solution to cost-effectively accelerate adoption of ITIL best practices
