FROM ECONOMIC SLOW DOWN TO FUTURE RECOVERY
If you are working to understand the business and technical issues that are having an impact on your organisation now and that will shape your business in the future, now is the time to register for Symposium/ITxpo 2002. Only at Symposium/ITxpo 2002 can you get the best advice from Gartner, the leading source of strategic analysis, on how to make the most of the current economic slow down, how to plan for the future and how to identify the indicators for recovery to ensure competitive advantage.
Indicators for recovery
By mid-2002, we believe the economic climate will be fairer and that we will start to see an upturn in the economy and businesses will need to start the recovery process. But not every organisation within each industry will start to recover at the same time, at the same rate.
"Identifying and understanding when to change strategy, management patterns and investment will be invaluable. It could mean the difference between success and failure"
Steve Prentice
VP and Director of Research, Gartner
Take advantage of the current environment
There is no doubt that we are in tough economic times - in what Gartner call the trough of disillusionment. We have reached a lull, a period of cost cutting and reassessment- a gap year perhaps. But we believe this gap year presents an excellent opportunity to pause, review, organise and rationalise your IT and business strategy within your enterprise. Tidy up while you have the chance:
- Focus on basic enterprise enablement
- Reassess you budgets
- Deliver ROI on the investments you have already made
- Revise your strategy
- Invest in quality
The future
No-one can give you the whole picture of what is to come in the next year or so. But, right now, you need all the glimpses of the future you can get.
As HP and Compaq are merging and Enron and K-Mart are collapsing, who will be next, and why?
Will Europe's privacy worries stop multichannel retailing in its tracks?
Strategies, tactics, processes, technologies: How will CRM pay off in the real world?
With China in the WTO and Germany in recession, where are the hot prospects for international growth?
When should we stop talking e-business, and just use "e" to do all business better?
At Symposium/ITxpo 2002, we'll shed light on key aspects of the road ahead. We'll help you spot strategies and technologies to suit today's needs and tomorrow's goals. We'll even show you how to recognize the first signs of recovery, when it starts to happen. Join us in Florence for two days of insight and illumination. Or risk being left in the dark.
