Topics of Discussion are Set to Include:

  • Building a Mobile App is Not a Mobile Strategy - Everyone wants a mobile strategy, but to make it successful requires thorough planning. Most organizations underinvest in the tecnology and use mobile apps purely for the purpose of advertisement, but building a mobile strategy is more than just having your own application.
  • Cloud Gateway - Simplifying your Adoption of SaaS - Desktop virtualization is one of the most transformative technologies to come around in a long time. This session will discuss how you can fundamentally transform the way you manage your desktops - why it's so beneficial, what it means to users and how it benefits IT and the enterprise.
  • Mobility Killed the Desktop Star - Smartphones, tablet computers and other personal devices are connecting to an increasing number of corporate networks and the trend continues to gain momentum. With employers and employees alike expecting 24/7 access to company data, ease of access and convenience need to be balanced with industry, security, and compliance requirements.
  • Data Management for the Enterprise: How to Leverage Analytics and Turn Data into Insight - What are the challenges and best practices in effective data management? How can the CIO ensure data quality and integration to provide a holistic customer view and create value?
  • Risk Management and Cost Optimization - Beyond just reacting to the latest security threats, the CIO need to approach security from the standpoint of risk management, at the same time as growth remains a top priority for most enterprises and IT executives are challenged to provide sustainable management support to increasingly complex business models.
  • IT Shared Services - This open-forum session will discuss how organization can achieve major cost savings by consolidating and standardizing IT operations. By aiming for a market-level standard of quality, IT shared services can sustain and build on those improvements while providing greater customer services.
