Advocacy Material

[Daniel Shaw]

Hi,

I have dabbled with Puppet in previous positions, had success and
loved it. My current employer does not have in place any systems
management tools and is an ideal candidate for another Puppet
installation. I obviously need to run this by a superior before I can
implement it on production systems..

So, can anyone point me to any good less-technical overview articles,
presentations or videos? I need to have something to present, and it'd
be great to not re-invent the wheel as I imagine there must be some
material out there.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi there,

I think that the customer case studies make excellent propaganda material:
http://puppetlabs.com/customers/case-studies/

Take a look at them, but maybe puppetlabs employees have some powerpoint presentations you need and are willing to share. :)

You can probably look for various presentation, just to name a few

There's more current slides at: http://www.slideshare.net/PuppetLabs.

If you need to present some compelling business reasons, I thought DTO
presentation at PuppetConf offered some good talking points:

I especially like slide 37 even though the numbers are just arbitrary
but it delivers the point of why should we change things if what we do
today "works".
