Richard C. Sturm
President, Enterprise Management Associates
For
the past 25 years, Rick has been dedicated to the field of information
technology. As a former Chief Architect for Network and Systems Management,
he witnessed first-hand the challenges of enterprise management. At
that time, management platforms were in their infancy. With the advent
of the Internet, the landscape of managing enterprise computing and
communications had forever changed.
It was at this time that Rick realized
how critical it was to effectively manage this technology. Equally
important, he saw that not one industry
analyst firm was positioned to offer specialized technical information
and business guidance about management software and services. As
a result, EMA was born.
Throughout his distinguished career, Rick has remained an active
figure in the industry. As a member of the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF), he was co-chair of the Applications MIB Working Group
that developed the standards for managing application software with
SNMP. Rick was co-founder of the OpenView Forum and served as its President
and member of the Board of Directors. He was also co-founder of the
Enterprise Management Institute.
Rick has authored numerous articles in leading trade publications,
including Network World, Information Week, and Internet Week. He has
also co-authored three books, The Foundations of Application Management,
Foundations of Service Level Management, and Working with Unicenter
TNG. As a recognized and widely quoted authority on management software
and services, Rick has regularly spoken at leading industry events
in the USA and Europe.
