OPENING KEYNOTE - "DRIVING THE VALUE OF SOA"
Presented by: Rob High, Software Chief Architect, IBM
Discussion: Use of SOA has bifurcated. For some the utility of SOA has become to encapsulate and normalize the integration of information systems. In some sense, SOA has become for those people a more structured approach to systems engineering. For others, SOA has yielded much more substantial advantages. That is, SOA has as its core principle the idea that information systems can drive higher levels of business agility and optimization around achieving key business outcomes. By focusing on the right services and engineering those services to have applicability in a variety of use cases we can produce applications much faster, and design those applications enable the business to respond to market forces at the speed at which they surface in the market place. This talk will focus on how distinguish the different approaches to SOA, and how to leverage your investment in SOA to drive more value to your business.

Moderated by: Kelly Laughton, Storage Solutions Consultant, Acumen
Panelists: Kerry Goode, CIO, City of Durham
Dave Byers, Engineer, CommVault
Jerry Schwinghammer, Deputy Business Unit Exec. for Technology & Network Ops., City of Charlotte
Discussion: The catastrophic storms that have impacted North Carolina in recent weeks serve as a painful reminder of just how vulnerable our data is to the forces of nature alone, much less other factors that are even more prevalent. Protecting important data and critical information systems is the responsibility of every CIO and is a challenge that becomes increasingly difficult as the volume of data and our dependence on it continues to grow. In that light, City of Durham CIO Kerry Goode will share his model for eliminating tape as a step toward improved data protection. He will also share some of the steps his team is taking to transform how his city manages data growth. Data Protection Engineer Dave Byers will share best practices for data management and discuss effective systems and tools for retaining and classifying data in a manner consistent with data policy. This session also explores data management and protection strategies that go beyond backup and recovery.

LUNCHEON KEYNOTE - “HOW SUCCESSFUL CLOUD, MOBILE AND OTHER APPLICATION STRATEGIES ARE DRIVEN BY THE END-USER EXPERIENCE”
Presented by: Matthew Poepsel, VP Performance Strategies, Compuware
Discussion: Business and technology landscapes are due to globalization, cloud computing, mobility, application delivery “ecosystems”, and other new developments. These trends are increasing the need for organizations to utilize a framework that maximizes their awareness of performance and optimization. This approach assists in shaping cloud, mobile and other application strategies within the organization.
With the number of smartphones currently being used, it is no surprise that research indicates mobile devices will soon outnumber personal computers on the Internet. This movement brings with it end users who demand that their mobile experience equals – or, frankly, exceeds – that of traditional web applications. That means each business needs to develop a mobile and cloud strategy that will meet these demanding, dynamic and critical customer expectations. The goal must be to provide an exceptional experience for every user, every time. We will, in conjunction with our customers, detail how a well-defined cloud and mobile strategy can positively impact your end-user experience, and in turn, your business success today and into the future.

"IMPLEMENTATION OF A DATA GOVERNANCE STRATEGY: A DEEPER DIVE!"
Presented by: Patrick Keaton, North America Information Governance Leader, IBM Software Group
Discussion: The volume and variety of digital information is exploding as our Planet becomes more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Current economic times require corporations and governments to analyze new information faster and make timely decisions for achieving business goals within budget. Look around you and think about all the new types of information your organization is collecting that it previously did not capture 10, 5 or even a single year ago. How do you manage and protect this information today? Is your organization able to harness this data to drive smarter business outcomes and ensure your company is prepared for the future? In this session we will discuss best practices to master the complete lifecycle of information, establish sustainable management of information quality and security and enable IT to make information more accessible and meaningful to the business. Learn how an effective governance strategy can enable IT and business to collaborate more effectively by ensuring information is aligned to business goals. Understand how your organization can take a holistic approach to improve operational efficiency by reducing risk and wasted time and cost associated with finding, understanding and managing information. |

"IT LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP"
Presented by: Jim Lamoin, Regional Leadership Forum Facilitator
Discussion: Leadership has many facets and as leaders we are called upon to use many skills acquired in many different ways during the course of life and our careers. The SIM leadership forums consider three of the most important factors to be how we think, how we learn and thereby, how we bring about change as leaders. Through a series of interactive exercises and participation we will demonstrate the importance of each of these and perhaps, rejuvenate how you, as a leader, can more effectively adapt all three to your personal leadership styles.
