Directions 2004 - Making IT Matter:
Finding Opportunities and Defining Value
Today it is more important than ever for IT vendors to
understand where our industry is headed. On the economic front
there is some good news on the horizon - the outlook for 2004
is more optimistic than it was just a few months ago. And
while the economic rebound is underway, it is certain that the
market will not bounce back to levels of IT growth we
experienced in the past. Your challenge is to find the
opportunities that offer real hope for sustained growth.
Innovative new products and technologies will continue to
create opportunities for IT suppliers. It is essential for you
to position your company as a provider of value to business
and IT executives alike.
IDC's annual Directions conference is recognized as the
industry's premier event that delivers an informative and
actionable overview of the issues shaping the technology
industry, and the resulting impact on the businesses of IT
providers and users. This year's conference will provide
predictions and analysis into spending expectations and IT
challenges for 2004. Our analysts will offer insight into
market trends, cutting through the marketing "hype" so you can
focus on products and technologies that can offer the best
solutions for your customers, and sustainable growth for your
company. Through a compelling mix of keynotes and topic
tracks, Directions offers prescriptive advice for a winning IT
strategy.
