Today’s economic climate presents a challenge for CIO’s as recovery is forecasted to be slow and inconsistent. CIO’s are facing difficult investment vs. cost decisions as organizations seek to grow and differentiate themselves through improved information technology capabilities while continuing to constrain costs. A challenge to be sure, but an opportunity as well for CIO’s who can effectively navigate through this period. Quest has assembled a diverse panel of CIO’s to discuss their strategies for success and take questions from the audience.

Closing Keynote: Winning in a Period of Uncertainty through Business and Technology Convergence
Faisal Hoque, Founder, Chairman and CEO, BTM Corporation
This period of uncertainty presents great opportunity for enterprises that best leverage technology to deliver business excellence. But creating an environment where technology helps to actually shape- rather than simply enable- strategic choices will require organizations to synchronize-rather than simply align-their business and technology decision making. And in the best managed modern enterprises, technology and business management will actually converge as activities become increasingly intertwined. Mr. Hoque will discuss ways that leading enterprises are striving for such convergence and results they are experiencing as it is achieved.
