OPENING KEYNOTE – “THE GROWING IMPACT OF BIG DATA ANALYTICS”
Presented by: David Barnes, Program Director, Strategy and Emerging Internet Technologies, IBM
Discussion: With the emergence of big data and the decreasing cost of storage and processing, organizations are seeing analytics playing an ever-increasing role in their businesses. This increased focus on analytics creates a demand for implementing solutions more quickly, with decreased costs and a shorter time to value.
In this presentation you’ll see examples of how analytic technologies, like IBM’s Ready for Watson, can be applied to solutions ranging from identifying customer sentiment to healthcare to disaster relief. |

Savvy CIO’s have shifted their focus from aligning IT with the business to a mantra that says “we are the business.” To be successful in this environment and to integrate IT as a critical member of the business decision making team, these leaders are focusing on identifying, growing and developing the IT workforce and culture of the 21st century. They are committed to building a workforce that has the right mix of relationship management and business partner engaging skills, business acumen, and technical understanding. |
