IDG Enterprise Expands CITE Event Portfolio With the CITE One-Day Forum; Addresses Opportunities and Challenges of 'Consumerization of IT in the Enterprise'
FRAMINGHAM, MA, Jul 09, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
IDG Enterprise -- the media company comprising Computerworld,
InfoWorld, Network World, CIO, DEMO, CSO, CIO Executive Council,
ITworld and CFOworld -- announces the next event devoted exclusively
to the consumerization of IT in the enterprise (CITE). The CITE Forum
-- taking place October 10, 2012 in New York City -- expands upon the
successful launch of CITE Conference & Expo earlier this year. The
one-day forum will gather leading IT and business decision-makers and
solution providers for a comprehensive look at the emerging issues,
demands and opportunities surrounding the influence of consumer
technologies on business and today's workplace.
CITE Forum will provide insights into the ways the enterprise can
embrace new devices, social tools, the app store paradigm and more to
create business advantage, and retain and empower both customers and
employees. As consumerization precipitates new workflows, methods of
decision-making and governance processes, it isn't easy for many
businesses to grasp -- but is essential to meet the changing needs of
the marketplace. With expert speakers, top solution providers and
experienced IT peers on site, CITE Forum will enable best practice
discussions to equip organizations to keep up with the speed of
change.
"The confluence of social, mobile and cloud technologies is rewriting
the computing and business landscape," said Michael Friedenberg,
president & CEO, IDG Enterprise. "CITE Forum, like CITE Conference
and Expo before it, will engage IT and business leaders in exploring
how to embrace this shift to build competitive advantage."
The CITE Forum -- developed in conjunction with an advisory board of
industry thought leaders -- gives IT and business decision-makers a
holistic view of new best practices surrounding the integration of
social, mobile and cloud in the workplace, from the use of tablets
and smartphones to social technologies and more. Sessions will align
with the conference tagline "Meet the Next Generation of Business,"
including:
-- The new agile enterprise
-- Cost-effective, business-smart mobile application strategies
-- The latest on BYOD (bring your own device) strategies
-- New techniques for creating a social enterprise
-- How to re-tool IT roles for the next-generation enterprise
-- Where organizations are seeing the biggest benefits from tablet
computers
