Why CIOs should attend IBM Edge 2015

4. Mai 2015 - 15:41

There’s an idea springing from the minds of the best CIOs in the world. The idea will shake the very role of CIO—if the idea could ever become a reality. And the idea is this: The CIO should be focused on innovation, not business as usual. Yet, it is the latter that sucks up the majority of the CIO’s time. How can this be changed? When faced with organizational hurdles, buy-in challenges and slashed budgets, how can the CIO and their team remain innovative and ahead of the competition?

This is precisely the focus of IBM Edge 2015, the most comprehensive IBM Systems event ever. The summit in Las Vegas from March 11-15 offers three key events in one place where you’ll learn how to “spring” ahead of the competition with new IT solutions that will help drive innovation and new revenue opportunities for your company:
 

  • Executive Edge (May 11-13), a two-day executive summit of the most advanced approaches to using IBM Systems and Middleware as a foundation for challenging new areas of information management. 
  • Technical Edge (May 11-15), which includes IBM System Storage, IBM z Systems and IBM Power Systems Technical Universities
  •  Winning Edge (May 13-15), developed by and for sales professionals to help uncover new opportunities and win more deals​
