CIO CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Even though Asia’s maturing IT industry is near the end of the first decade of the 21st century, inadequate progress
appears to have been made with the perennial issue of Business – IT alignment.
CIOs still often argue that management doesn’t understand the needs of the IT Department and doesn’t give priority
to fundamental issues like infrastructure innovation, digital security, disaster recovery, compliance and the
environment.
CEOs and CFOs still feel that too many CIOs don’t speak their business language. CIOs complain that they are always
being asked to do more with less. CEOs and CFOs still too often describe the IT Department as a financial black hole.
Yes, too much internal energy continues to be wasted on intra‐enterprise management civil war when it should be
directed
towards
innovation,
greater
efficiency
and
profitability.
So how can an enterprise achieve harmony with business‐IT alignment? What are the secrets to C‐suite accord?
Which enterprises from which industries are singing most in tune?
At the CIO Asia magazines flagship annual CIO Conference 2011, we shall discover some of the secrets of aligning IT
with business goals and strategy.
THE GREAT DEBATE
For the third consecutive year, the CIO conference will feature the ever‐popular ‘Great Management Debate’.
The proposition: “CIOs are now true business technologists properly valued by their enterprises.”
Executives, analysts and IT leaders will form two teams of 4 to 5 members, to argue either side of this point of view –
and be questioned by the delegates in the audience ‐ in what has proven to be an informative and entertaining
feature of CIO Asia’s annual event.

“Aligning Business Goals through Intelligent Network”
Businesses today all rely on robust network infrastructure to run a web of business
applications. The capability to manage networks intelligently can give enterprises
competitive advantage. Network reliability, flexibility and efficiency have become major
concerns for CXOs.

“Vision 2020”
Change isn’t new, but the pace of change in the next ten years is going to be
breathtaking. The balance of power is shifting: emerging markets are becoming leading
markets. Technology that was hype is becoming business as usual: new service models
mean that paying for IT ‘as you go’ is becoming the norm. Boundaries are blurring:
companies are relying more than ever on the expertise and resources of a broad
ecosystem spread around the world; not just for labour, but for innovation and
competitive advantage too.
In this session, Chris Kimm will show you how IT and communications can help you to
prosper in the coming decade, see how cloud computing and shared services can help
increase business agility and align capacity and costs more closely with demand. And
learn how market leaders are using new applications and tools to successfully master the
weak ties of a dispersed workforce consisting of both employees and third‐parties.

“The Great CIO Challenge ‐ Moving Your Data Across the Cloud”
Cloud computing has become an important new tool for todays’ CIO in controlling the
cost and complexity of business‐critical applications and data. Cloud computing is
compelling to enterprises because it allows them to consolidate resources, provision
services more quickly, and even rationalize costs more effectively with new business
models.
However, there are numerous challenges with this approach that may prevent
organizations from succeeding with cloud initiatives. These cloud initiatives may be
private cloud (where server and storage resources live behind a corporate firewall) or
public cloud (resources live in a shared datacenter, via a service such as Amazon EC2). In
both cases, problems with application performance, available bandwidth, and visibility
often limit the effective gains of a scalable cloud computing model. Addressing these
limitations can be the difference between success or failure of a cloud‐based system,
which in turn can affect an organization’s effectiveness and competitive advantage in its
market.
With WAN optimization, customers can:
• Accelerate access to private and public cloud infrastructure
• Accelerate the movement of virtualized machines and data to cloud data centers
• Significantly reduce the bandwidth needed to support branch offices and data centers
• Improve visibility into network utilization, application performance, and SLAs.
