Seminar Overview
The most effective business lines are those who understand the technology that supports their business and works with IT partners to create business opportunities. Technology leaders need to introduce business managers to the many technical innovations that are emerging and act as a true partner with business lines to identify how technology innovations can reduce costs, increase resiliency and add security to produce business opportunities. How can concepts such as dynamic demand management, selective workloads in the cloud or software-defined data centers be presented to business partners as a competitive opportunity? Businesses want their IT organizations to be pro-active partners rather than reactive ones. Be part of this seminar as you hear how progressive IT managers are leveraging this dialogue with business lines to formulate strategies that have real payoff.
