Bangalore, Karnataka, India
The second edition of CIO Strategies India, organized by naseba, a leading international business information company listed on the Paris Stock Exchange, will take place at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, on June 9th-10th, 2008. Working in strategic partnership with Business Wire India and Smart Techie, the forum gives the opportunity to up to 100 CIOs from Indian companies to learn about the latest trends in the IT industry, to source customized solutions from leading solution providers as well as to network with their peers.
Information technology has become a key tool for organizations, making the CIO position vital. More recently leadership capabilities, business acumen and strategic perspectives have taken precedence over technical skills. Furthermore, as Indian companies are increasingly competing on a global scale on top of their domestic market, leveraging and optimizing the use of IT assets for maximum efficiency and productivity have become a competitive imperative.
The Indian government is pushing the country to become a hub for IT solutions. However, India is still not at the forefront of technology and innovation, although it is developing towards that goal. Indian CIOs are therefore looking for better and improved solutions and are highly interested in attending IT events which are exclusively tailored for the Indian market, such as the CIO Strategies India forum.
The forum will feature keynote presentations and panel discussions led by the following industry-renowned speakers:
-- Panel discussion: The evolving role of the CIO: IT Mobility
Chandrashekhar Nene, Vice President, Information Technology, Kingfisher Airlines Ltd
Vijay Mehra, Group CIO, Essar Group
Daya Prakash, IT Head, LG India
-- Panel discussion: IT Governance
Probir Mitra, CIO, TATA Motors
Ishwar Jha, CEO, Digital Media Convergence Ltd - Essel Group Enterprise
Ashwini Sharma, CIO, State Bank of India
-- Business continuity planning for an enterprise system
Vijay Sethi, VP/CIO, Hero Honda Motors LTD
-- Virtualisation: Concept or reality
Satish Naralkar, CEO, NSE IT
-- Realizing business value to IT
Arvind Tawde, CIO, Mahindra & Mahindra
-- Joe Gare, Compliance Director, Quest Software
-- Engaging Beyond the enterprise
Sunil Pandita, Business Development Manager, Adobe Systems
CIOs will also attend workshops of their choice where they will discover the latest IT solutions in a case study format in an interactive environment. CIO Strategies India has been designed to ensure that all participants are able to discuss and interact with their peers. The workshops will be led by solution providers such as Cognizant, Fujitsu, Trend Micro, and Advent Net.
The Deputy General Manager - IT at Kirloskar Electric Company Limited commented the first edition of CIO Strategies India: "The event was extremely enlightening. Many more events covering emerging technologies will surely help CIO's of India deliver more effectively."
The APAC Product Marketing Manager of Trend Micro added: "[It] allowed us to have informative discussions with the target audience. The event realised the importance of the CIO's time. The topics and format were accordingly designed."
