The Inaugural CIO & IT Leaders Summit – Thursday, May 17th, 2012 – Croke Park, Dublin
As the sources of competitive advantage become even more connected to technology, the CIO’s contribution to the health and strategic direction of the business is critical like it has never been before. Their role is becoming increasingly complex – not only are CIOs expected to lead innovation efforts and enable technology, in many cases they are expected to achieve this in a cost-constrained environment, doing more with less and delivering top level information strategies.
With fast changing economic realities, European and global markets in the balance, IT decision-makers need to continuously evaluate and plan how they use IT to drive efficiency, profitability and customer satisfaction within their organisations.
iQuest’s CIO Summit is designed for those who have a strategic focus on their business and the role that technology plays in their company’s ability to remain competitive in the years ahead.
