Gary J. Beach, Group Publisher, CIO Magazine.
In today's dynamic business environment, enterprises around the world are aggressively working horizontally across organizational and geographic boundaries to delivery greater customer value and competitive advantage. CIO's are challenged to increase the business value of their IT services and enable integration with customers, suppliers and partners. The opportunity is to deliver IT as a flexible service to the business while continuing to reducing costs through better resource utilization and increased automation. As large commercial enterprises transition from vertical silos to horizontally-integrated infrastructure and applications they are adopting grid solutions that enable industry collaboration while providing flexible, cost-efficient solutions for informational integration and resource sharing. In his opening keynote at GridWorld, Gary Beach from CIO Magazine will discuss the global business trends helping to shape next generation Enterprise IT. He will explore the 10 reasons IT professionals are adopting grid technologies to enable business advantage. In the process, Gary will help frame the interactive discussion between participants at GridWorld as they discuss the business case and roadmap for successful grid adoption within the Enterprise.
