Business Cloud Summit

Al — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:06:53 +0000

The Cloud Computing revolution is underway. Are you ready to take advantage of it? Or will you be left behind? A recent report from analyst firm Gartner Group predicts that worldwide Cloud services revenue will increase 21% this year to exceed $56.3 billion, and will rise to more than $150 billion by 2013. The message is clear: Cloud Computing needs to be on your corporate agenda – today!

There are compelling reasons why Cloud Computing is so relevant to all organisations. It’s particularly well suited to the current economic downturn, when cost pressures on IT departments are intensifying. The Cloud offers attractive cost benefits, low total cost of ownership and quantifiable ROI. It promises scalability, agility and responsiveness to changing business requirements as never seen before. And it provides opportunities for CIOs and their teams to shift away from the more mundane aspects of their jobs and enables them to focus on innovative value-add activities that contribute to the corporate bottom line.

Executive Compensation Conference

Shannon — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:29:43 +0000

As the recession continues, the spotlight grows brighter on executive compensation, generating legislative and regulatory initiatives as well as numerous questions about the shortcomings of past practices and demands for program redesign, including changes in pay mix and performance metrics. Many experts predict that several of the executive pay regimens imposed on distressed companies receiving federal aid will migrate into what is considered best practices for all companies, causing directors to review their current programs and processes. The continuing unprecedented volatility of equity markets makes it challenging to reward executives for solid business performance that may not be reflected in stock prices and raises concerns over retention of key talent.

This Conference offers a highly significant and timely source of practical guidance and opportunity to network and brainstorm with leading directors and executives of major corporations as they re–examine how to design fair, reasonable and effective executive compensation packages that provide the right rewards to the right people.
