Pressure is increasing on organisations to ensure that their facilities and equipment are available and always operating at peak

performance. Just as a company would manage various businesses differently, it should also understand and manage the IT that

supports them differently. Needless to mention, IT executives today know that the right investments in technology can definitely

deliver a significant competitive advantage.

 

Over the past years, renowned companies such as Google and Wal-Mart Stores have changed the competitive rules in their

respective sectors by introducing technology-enabled innovations. However until today many CIOs and their departments are not

perceived to champion investments in innovation, but simply to keep e-mails working and deliver narrowly scoped projects. This

limited view of IT's role became prominent as the E-Business boom of the late 1990s ended and business executives tried to rein

in spending and to ensure that IT investments served business goals.

 

As a result, Asia IT Congress 2007 focuses exclusively on the adoption of new trends and technology architecture transformation

which are beginning to take shape in many large and midsize organisations in Asia today. To understand how organisations

invest in innovation and manage accompanying risks while running their IT functions efficiently, the congress will cover and

assess IT strategies from the leading companies to cater for Asia’s business enterprises. The congress aims to instill that the

transformation will drive efficiencies from business processes to physical infrastructure, whilst increasing IT’s ability to meet new

demands in a rapidly changing business environment.

 

Of course, technology alone won't deliver this vision: IT and business leaders will need to rethink governance models and

management processes to take full advantage of new technology trends. This is, the arena of absolute opportunity for solution

providers like you to meet customers at their point of need.
