TechStrategies 2009

When: 8th September 2009
Where: Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore

SUMMIT OVERVIEW

The current economic downturn is the worst since the broad adoption of Information Technology into business. This means that CIOs have to show the true business value of their work more than in their entire careers – and hopefully more than they will ever have to. The balancing act of delivering business value and optimizing resources through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) will be a major challenge for all CIOs in the next 12-18 months. The CIO is being faced by the need to make businesses more agile, productive and customer-centric whilst also cutting back wherever possible. While all this is happening, technology continues to develop. CIOs are still faced with the issues of learning and understanding all the potential value of emerging technologies like Web 2.0 and beyond, cloud computing, virtualization and the continuing consumerisation of IT.

Frost & Sullivan’s TechStrategies 2009 Summit is designed to assist CIOs and IT Directors on cost optimization strategies and to make sense of the emerging technologies and how they can translate into business value. The summit would focus on business issues such as:-
• Maximizing Your ICT Dollar – Cost-Cutting Strategies, Building Competitive Advantage with IT
• Enterprise 2.0 – New business models, emerging technologies, risk management, Cloud computing
and “Green” initiatives
