Description
"Diagnosis = Terminal: Why IT won't survive this round and our journey to change the future with platforms and data"
Speaker:
James Altendorf, Director, Enterprise Performance, Intelligence, Content, and Knowledge Solutions, Sabre
IT is on the precipice of its next evolution. Infrastructure has become virtual. Software has become "as a service." Today's evolution is witnessing a collapse of processes and technologies into an interdependent and single connected entity - the platform. In this "platform", where the technologies and processes are constantly changing, an organization's true long term assets are its data and people. In this session, you will hear about how important people and data are to winning in the future. We will discuss what treating data like an asset means and what IT's role will be in both "doing" and "driving" business using data in the future.
About the speaker:
