Tour Gartner Symposium/ITxpo

Symposium/ITxpo 2009 is organized according to nine IT leadership roles. Each track includes targeted sessions and networking opportunities to transform your organization’s IT strategies.

For Application Leaders, Symposium/ITxpo 2009 will answer:

• Which approaches to application acquisition or development, integration and delivery, and ongoing support and maintenance will allow me to create the best, fastest and cheapest software solutions that deliver sustainable business value?
• What are the economics behind new architectures like SOA, WOA and EDA, and alternative delivery models for software, like SaaS and cloud? Are the cost savings, efficiencies and flexibility real and quantifiable? What are the tradeoffs?
• How do I justify my legacy modernization projects in the face of budget tightening? What metrics can I produce that will convince business leaders we’ll be better off in the long run for the investments made today?
• What investments should I be making today — in E-business, Web self-service, marketing & loyalty, price optimization and the like — to hasten my business’s return to growth post-recession?

From SOA to mashups to SaaS to cloud computing, the road to truly valuable software — solutions with worth you can prove — is difficult but navigable. Symposium/ITxpo will give you the tools to create the best, fastest, and cheapest software solutions that deliver sustainable business value. Among other topics, we’ll look at the economics and tradeoffs behind new architectures like SOA, WOA, and EDA, and which investments now will hasten your business’s return to growth post-recession.
