Gartner Inc., today announced the sixth annual CIO India Summit to be held in Mumbai on February 20-21, 2007 at Hotel Grand Hyatt. The summit will focus on the strategies and tactics that successful businesses leverage to maximize the effectiveness of their IT organization in order to deliver growth and results to the business.

 

Peter Sondergaard, global head of Gartner Research, will present in India for the fist time at this summit. He will discuss current issues faced by CEOs and senior executives and the implications for the IT department. Terry Waters, global head of Gartner Executive Programs, the world's largest community of CIOs, will present the latest findings and conclusions from the 2007 EXP CIO Survey.

 

Speaking about the event, Mr. Partha Iyengar, research vice president, Gartner said, "As Indian companies continue to increasingly take on global competition overseas as well as at home, leveraging and optimizing IT assets for maximum effectiveness and productivity have become a competitive imperative. Today, companies are re-examining their business models and process, and radically retooling to compete on a global stage."

 

Gartner's India CIO Summit will demonstrate how chief information officers (CIOs) and IT professionals will accomplish their goals: by working effectively 'in the business' to deliver current results, and 'on the business' to realize business strategy and value.

 

Gartner India CIO Summit offers attendees the opportunity to exchange information and insight through analyst presentations and intensive, hands-on workshops. Over the two day period, the Summit will address the significant challenges facing Indian CIOs and their teams, and provide in-depth analysis and advice to help attendees execute against these challenges.
