Pressbox (Press Release) - THE BUSINESS OF IT - SEPTEMBER 20 - 21 2006 CONFERENCE
CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICERS CLUB

London, March 20 2006 The Business of IT September 2006 Conference adds One day Prequel on July 27 2006.

The demands on the CIO continue to increase, while budgets tighten and resources shrink. CIO�s are expected to be on the bleeding edge and deliver measurable ROI for every bit of technology investment they make. Tough to pull off under the best of circumstances, but it is becoming even more complex. The position of the CIO continues to be one of the most difficult and important within the enterprise. What does it take to be a great CIO?

You must align technology with business goals and use IT to drive strategy within the organisation. You have to know your
customers intimately, protect them from identity theft and your company from any threat to its security. You must convince your CEO that information technology is much more than a huge line item in the annual budget. You have got to keep support costs down and allocate your spending in the most efficient way possible.

There is also the need to help your company to think outside of the box and stay ahead by adopting innovative technology and monitoring business trends. And apply your leadership skills to direct your team along with you. By any stretch of the imagination it is a tall order.

The Business of IT provides the opportunity for Executive Members of the Chief Information Officers Club to explore the challenges they face, examine the latest thinking and share their points of view. This two day conference will help CIO's to develop their strategies and learn from the insight and experiences of peers in the mainstream vertical markets.

The venue is the Exclusive Hotels South Lodge at London-Gatwick.
