The crisis has accelerated several IT transformation trends leading to a new business terrain and an accordingly different IT environment. These structural changes will have far-reaching implications in the way IT services are funded and how IT performance is appraised. Currently riding on a fragile wave of economic buoyancy, organisations are understandably more discerning about technology expenditure focusing on the specific bottom line benefits of IT systems and strategies. Empowering your enterprise to improve its operational efficiency whilst supporting innovation can be met only if IT is able to provide better information on a timelier manner driving a powerful level of analytical capability.

 

The ‘new economy’ IT approaches such as consolidation, virtualisation, cloud computing, social networking, and outsourcing are rapidly becoming the mantras of forward-thinking CIOs. Given the pervasive role of technology in society today, technology is an integral part of business operations and a crucial enabler of adaptation and change.

 

The Australian CIO Summit 2011 offers the perfect setting for sponsors to present their products and services directly to the key decision makers and gate keepers of Australia and New Zealand’s IT budgets. Over three days, sponsors will meet and interact with top IT executives through a number of business one-to-one meetings and many networking activities. In addition, sponsors will attend the strategic summit sessions led by the thought leaders in the CIO and IT community. Within the luxurious settings of the Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast, this networking event presents a unique opportunity to develop meaningful and valuable business relations.

The primary objective of the Australian CIO 2011 is to explore the key aspects and issues related to IT best practices and their application as business drivers for innovation and growth. The summit’s programme topics have been pinpointed and validated by the CIO community as the top critical issues they face.
