Briefings Direct

Welcome to a special BriefingsDirect podcast series from the Hewlett-Packard Software Universe 2009 Conference in Las Vegas the week of June 15, 2009. As services pervade how and what IT delivers, quality assurance early and often becomes the gatekeeper of success -- or the points of failure. IT's job is evolving to make sure all services really work inside business process -- regardless of their origins and sourcing. Quality of component services is assurance of quality processes, and so such pervasive quality is no longer an option. Part of making quality endemic becomes organizational, of asserting quality in everything IT does, quality in everything IT's partners do. It even now means quality in how the IT department is run and managed. To better learn how service-enabled testing and quality-enabling methods of running IT become critical mainstays of IT success, BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner interviews Robin Purohit, Vice President Software Products, at HP Software and Solutions.
