As organizations have become more dependent on
IT, the responsibilities of the IT function have
become greater and more complex. In this emerging
landscape, the role of the IT group must change
from a custodial one, to a role more like a consultancy
that ensures the organization leverages IT intelligently.
The key to successfully converting IT investments
into business value on a consistent basis will not
be found in the intricacies of technical decisions.
Rather, CIOs will achieve greater success by addressing
how the IT function is perceived, conducted and
supported in the enterprise as a whole. What role
should CIOs play in the successful organizations
of tomorrow? How involved should business units
be in the IT projects that will increasingly determine
their success? This session will provide perspectives
on these questions and outline how the role of the
CIO and her business unit needs to evolve in the
years ahead. An assessment of Asian organizations'
investment patterns based on the recently completed
Continuum survey will also be provided. |

Architecting Storage for Competitive
Advantage |
| |
 |
Fred
van den Bosch
Chief Technology Officer
& Executive Vice President of the Advanced Technology
Group, VERITAS Software |
| |
|
As a corporation you want to architect your storage
management to deliver the highest competitive advantage.
This means that you want to drive efficiency from
the architecture that can respond to and leverage
business and technology change.
Complexity is stopping you from being able to
do this, leading to inconsistent processes in
your organization. A clear example of how complexity
is constraining you is DR. Even though companies
want to do this, they are not able to.
Some customers have consolidated their servers
and storage to minimize complexity. This helps,
but is not enough. It introduces single points
of failure and requires you to strip out a lot
of your existing hardware.
So what's the solution? Find out how this session
enables you to :
1. Develop flexible, automated storage management
2. Consistent management and policies
3. Automate Storage Provisioning
4. Automate Server Provisioning

Managing Director, Asia
South, Computer Associates International, Inc. |
| |

Security is one of the most hyped, but least
understood and successfully implemented aspects
in doing business on or off the Internet today.
As business model alternatives and new participants
in those models multiply, the need for integrated
security and security management of all business
assets explodes. Where the boundaries between technology
and business objectives merge, security becomes
the undeniable glue. We will discuss the trends,
challenges and feasible
security solutions for enabling trusted eBusiness
in today's fast moving, agile world. |

Security as a Business Enabler

Is it possible to enable new services that leverage
employee productivity, reduce capital expenditures
and improve employee motivation and retention and
at the same time keep a network both simple to use
and secure?
The convergence of wired and wireless networks
are speeding us towards an all IP-connected world
where information will be location and device
independent, and most importantly, always on.
Enterprises face different types of threats as
they start to open up their network to mobile
employees, Extranet partners and the public. With
lines blurring, the challenge that decision-makers
face today is to balance the "openness"
and "closeness" of the network and provide,
on a continual basis, effective network security
that will provide controlled secure access ensuring
that network performance remains unaffected at
all times.
These and other issues relating to securing the
enterprise to leverage business efficiency will
be presented at this session.

As the demand for Internet communications and
e-commerce continues to rise, content intrusions
such as viruses, hoaxes and spam coming through
the Internet inevitably increases. 2000's love bug
and recent outbreaks including the CodeRed worm
and Nimda virus are good examples. Conventional
viruses, like the love bug, infect through e-mail
attachments and malicious codes. New breeds of attack
like Nimda is a hybrid. They infect as a virus to
reside in memory and become very difficult to detect;
then they attack as hacking, or as a worm, so they
can launch distributed denial-of-service and use
remote control techniques to hack the entire corporate
network. They also spread through spamming like
the love bug. As a consequence, the speed of spreading
is astonishing.
This session will address the changing needs
for content security in distributed computing
environments, new trends in viruses and malicious
codes, and further illustrate how to set up proactive
anti-virus and content security protections to
guard against new viruses and cyber attacks.

Evolving The Enterprise: The
Standards-Advantage in IT Infrastructure |
| |
 |
William
Amelio
Senior Vice President
and President, Asia-Pacific/Japan, Dell |
| |
|
Today's enterprise customers are concerned with
reducing cost of IT under restrained budgets while
maintaining high levels of system performance. Yet,
the complete cessation of IT investments is not
an option considering the significant organizational
productivity and efficiency gains of technology.
Against this backdrop, the shift to standards emerges
- with Dell uniquely positioned to provide standards-advantaged
solutions to customers at a fraction of the cost
of proprietary offerings. Is this a trend reflective
of the way of computing now and in the future? Why
are CIOs making the switch? Find out the considerations
to leveraging standards-based technology in your
IT infrastructure. |

Managing IT Resources As Services
And Not Hardware: The Secret To Better IT Infrastructure
Management? |
| |
 |
Vernon
Turner
Group Vice President,
Global Enterprise Server Solutions, IDC
|
| |
|
Technology roadmaps handed down to CIOs from
the IT industry have promised to make data centers
simpler, infrastructures more scalable and organizations
more efficient. However, what CIOs have been looking
for is a systems solution that can deliver a broad
range of services supported by smaller IT budgets.
Did the IT systems companies deliver on the promise
of creating a new type of architecture that enabled
enterprise to enterprise business processing at
reduced capital and operational costs?
How will management architectures that enable
highly shared , cost effective, and efficient
computer services emerge? What are early customer
expectations for very large , scalable enterprise
environments? Will bigger infrastructures allow
more IT work to be managed? Is there a new role
for the server, storage and network suppliers?
Can IT departments drive business initiatives
by pushing server and storage consolidation further
than they have today? Is there technology in the
near term that will release a flood of application
resources into the CIOs computing and network
grids?
Mr. Turner may have answers that may be music
to every CIOs' ears or send them off searching
for a new IT blueprint.

|
In order for top management to take on the challenging
business conditions at the beginning of the 21st
century a range of new demands must be met. Company
quality needs further improvement to better meet
response times that improve levels of customer satisfaction.
Innovation is necessary in the change to more global
methods of operation and practice, whilst an ongoing
adaptation to the changing social environment and
customer requirements are required at an ever-increasing
pace.
IT is fundamental to such business success, and
Fujitsu is offering "TRIOLE" as the
new strategy that meets these demands.
"TRIOLE" is an organic integrated platform
concept. It has at its core "Autonomous",
"Virtualization", and "Integration"
technologies that encompass all aspects of the
network, services, servers and storage devices.
It contributes to building enterprise businesses
in the shortest possible time, while bringing
continuity, efficiency and high quality to the
transaction process. The "TRIOLE" concept,
from a servers-centric solution viewpoint, will
be elaborated on at the forum.

The web computing era and economic slow down
have triggered considerable changes across all industries
with how business' justify IT investments. Competition
and faster time-to-market highlight some key business
challenges that link to the role that IT will play.
Ultimately, the promise of web services and utility
computing pose ideal solutions to these key business
challenges however, fulfilling on the promise also
pose significant complexity.
During this session, Mr. Melenovsky will discuss
several worldwide trends, examine the impact these
trends have on the services industry and provide

In just 100 years the installation of 1Bn phones
worldwide transformed global business. Even more
change was invoked with the deployment of 500M mobiles
in just 12 years. No engineer, planner or marketer
guessed that so many would spend so much for so
little in such a short time. It seems we value mobility
above almost everything. So will our future be wireless
everything where our clothes, cars, homes,
appliances, and everything we own always on-line?
Will WLANs really wipe out the Telcos? My
guess yes and the impact on the way
we do business will be even greater. |
