Sharing knowledge on Connectivity, Communication, Collaboration & Change
Connected Enterprise 2011: Business without Boundaries!
Modern organizations are extending their global reach and influence more than ever. Network technologies, online communities, emerging communication tools and cloud computing enable the ubiquitous availability of information, processes and people.
But what suits the individual company best? Just the connectivity or a fully managed service? What about tools like unified communications, telepresence or social networking? Where should you store your data? And what does this all mean for your governance, risk and compliance? The Annual Conference Connected Enterprise will provide you with the answers - and more!
An interconnected business is much more than an organization that deals with unified communications in a progressive way. Communication and collaboration tools are only part of the overall concept that spans new (wireless) network technologies, online communities, cloud computing, and an adaptive, scalable architecture. The collection of all this, is that organizations always and everywhere have access to information, processes and people in a global context. Even across organizational boundaries.
The first Annual Conference Connected Enterprise, last April 19th, following the Annual Conference IT Transformation on last April 18th, carried the theme ‘Connected Enterprise: Business without Boundaries‘ focuses on CIO's and their IT managers organizations to help them with the selection of tools, practical solutions and supply them with the experiences of others.
At the Annual Conference Connected Enterprise many prominent international top speakers, CIO's and IT managers have shared their views and experiences on how to innovate and excel. Inspiring stories of partnership, leadership and lots of best practices will show you how! The themes were: network capacity - connectivity - globalization - utility - cloud & on-demand computing - data centers - collaboration - unified communications - wired & wireless - managed services - security - risk - compliance.
The influence of the CIO and IT manager can not be underestimated here. They have the skills and brains to implement the various enabling technologies, they are also ideally equipped to carry and remove barriers. Based on an interaction with the suppliers which in turn work towards a comprehensive service in this area. Finally data, workstations and connectivity all come together.
During the first Annual Conference Connected Enterprise the cultural changes involved in the transformation into a 'business without boundaries' have been extensively discussed.
We look forward to welcome you on the 2nd Annual Conference Connected Enterprise! Or maybe on the next conference Stratetig Sourcing on the 21st of June.
