The era of incremental change has been over taken by an era that spells capacious change. The Arab Spring, the Euro Zone crisis, the occupy protests, are all indicative of capacious changes that are impacting and shaping a new world order. Changes such as these can not only be disorienting and confusing, but can also shatter our steadfast belief in the status quo. CIOs are no strangers when it comes to adapting to incremental change, but are often left behind when it comes to embracing capacious change. The 2012 edition of CIO Business Congress will feature a program that will recognize the need for CIOs to learn and understand new technology and changes that will affect the 21st century enterprise.
In a new world order that demands agility and nimbleness, what is an appropriate and cost-effective IT strategy? Is it storing big data, leveraging fluid data storage, greening your infrastructure, mobilizing your workforce, virtualizing your IT assets, cloud computing or hybrid cloud? Are these really the best options for coping with change? The CIO Business Congress (CBC) agenda will provide hard-nosed, actionable information and advice that executives urgently require.
Coping with change also requires CIOs to meet and engage in quality conversations with the world’s premium IT vendors and solution providers, an ecosystem that is rapidly moving towards orientating their solution portfolio to help and empower CIOs make that change, together. CIO Business Congress has been proud to associate itself with the best-of-breed vendors including Dell, Vodafone, APC by Schneider, Avaya, Akamai, Juniper Networks, EMC, SAP, IBM, Adobe, Amazon Web Services, VMware, CheckPoint Solutions, Citrix, Wipro, Amdocs, Nokia Siemens Networks, Thoughtworks, Netmagic, CtrlS, Teradata, among others.
