The Coming Shockwave:
An Assault of Innovation, Disruption, and Opportunity |
| |
|
 |
Philippe de Marcillac
Senior Vice President,
International Business Units, IDC |
| |
|
As the industry landscape changes rapidly as
a result of megatrends -- from globalization and
convergence to service oriented architecture and
everything-as-a-service -- IT users, investors,
and vendors must be ready to adapt quickly. In
this session, Philippe will put these trends in
perspective, examine the pivot points of change,
look for intersections, and discuss what that
implies for technology users and vendors. The
intent will be to examine the potential unintended
consequences of these trends, and develop a road
map for those traversing the new landscape in
search of opportunity.

Unified Communications
(UC): How Disruptive is it? |
| |
|
 |
Sandra
Ng
Vice President, Asia/Pacific
Communications, Peripherals and Services Research,
IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
In this session, Sandra will analyze
why UC has become a buzzword in the ICT industry
and why big boys like Avaya, Cisco Systems and Microsoft
are placing big bets in this technology. She will
provide a comprehensive view of the ecosystem and
how the different communities of players partner
and/or compete with one another to serve this marketplace.
IDC's definition of UC and what it means to the
different players will be shared. A deep-dive into
differentiating strategies and go-to-market approaches
among traditional (and smaller) as well as the newer
(and generally larger) players will be highlighted.
This presentation will also provide early indicative
insights into users' understanding of UC, perceptions
and needs. |

CIO Strategies to
Build The Next Generation Data Centers |
| |
|
 |
Vernon
Turner
Group Vice President
and General Manager, Enterprise Computing, IDC |
| |
|
Do most vendors understand the importance of
being a trusted advisor to a CIO when tomorrow's
next generation network, compute and storage data
center are being built?
There is a lot of current interest in data center
power and cooling since it now attracts so much
of IT operating expenses. However, tomorrow's
data center will have to cope with more than just
the utility issues. Every piece of the IT infrastructure
spreads out from the 'data center' and therefore
it's critical to understand what SOA, Web 2.0,
converged networks, etc. will do for the data
center. Vendors will have to extend their reach
from underneath the raised floor to the end of
the consumer device in a seamless fashion but
will it safeguard customer loyalty? Every piece
of infrastructure has a monetary pull through
in customer spending and holding onto an install
base will be critical to vendors long-term survival.
At the end of the day, who will be paying for
the multi-million dollar expense item?

|
 |
Bryan
Ma
Director, Asia/Pacific
Personal Systems Research, IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
Emerging countries often appear at
the forefront of attention given the spectacular
growth rates that can often be attained. Yet the
world of technology oftentimes is an expensive one,
thus making the approach to market dramatically
different than the mature markets that the industry
is accustomed to pursuing. What are the buying dynamics
of these markets, and what are the various ways
with which this potential can be tapped into?. Join
Bryan in this session as he explores the various
scenarios used in countries around the world and
the success stories that have arisen from them.
He will look into recent industry moves to offer
low-cost PCs and mobile phones, among other technology
areas, as well as IDC's outlook for markets here
in the Asia/Pacific region, ranging from India to
Vietnam to Pakistan. |

Shared Strategies
for Securing the Core to the Endpoint |
| |
|
 |
Christian
A. Christiansen
Program Vice President,
Security Products & Services, IDC |
| |
|
In the past, security
was comfortably partitioned into many difference
compartments. Threat Management (TM) was largely
separate from Secure Content Management (SCM).
Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Secure
Compliance & Vulnerability Management (SCVM)
were technologically and organizationally distant
from one another. However, customers are starting
to incorporate security into every facet of the
IT environment. This evolution will destroy previous
partitions between technologies, organizations,
and management practices. Driven by trends such
as crime-based threat environment and pressure
for uniform security management at all levels
in the corporation, security evolution requires
shared strategies for securing the core to the
endpoint.
In this conference, Chris
will help you understand the future by first taking
a look at today’s situation. He will identify
specific convergence opportunities based on survey
data, specifically around IT security and network
management.
