Computing and Communications:
Preparing for the New Landscape |
| |
In a time of economic uncertainty, a sense of caution has surfaced in the IT and telecom industries. IT buyers are spending less, hardware is becoming more commoditized, software is in a complexity crisis, services contracts are decreasing in size, and telcos are facing declining profit margins. At the same time, the industry is seeing some positive signs, including more demand to support mobility and an increase in broadband access to the Internet.
The focus of 'Directions 2004' is Computing and Communications: Preparing for the New Landscape. The conference will focus on the shifts in technology landscape created by the recent global events, both economic and political, and the likely evolution in the coming future. It will provide business executives with critical inputs that help navigate this landscape.
Key Questions to be answered include:
-
How are the current macroeconomic factors and geopolitical conditions impacting IT deployment and technology adoption?
- What is on the horizon in new product innovation and technologies in hardware, software, and communications?
- How can I understand the increasing complexity of the services industry and identify key opportunities for growth?
