Conference News & Updates  By GovIT News As the pressure mounts to meet more stringent budgets, CIOs need to find the proper balance between transforming IT and reducing costs. IT operational costs continue to increase as a percentage of overall IT dollars. At the same time, IT is being pressured to provide an innovative, competitive advantage for the business. Will the Enterprise Cloud support both? "Can the Enterprise Cloud make infrastructure operations faster, easier, cheaper, and safer while also unleashing the transformative creativity of the workforce?" asks Jill Tummler Singer, Deputy CIO of the Central Intelligence Agency, who will on October 6, 2009, be giving the opening keynote at SYS-CON's 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo.
In her keynote Singer will explore whether the Cloud will be both a strong efficiency play as well as the Infrastructure’s Ultimate Revenge by positioning IT to be the accelerator of corporate strategy instead of its bottleneck. She will discuss how Enterprise Cloud Computing naturally fits in an organization's overall technology strategic plan and "how you can convince your boss to love the Cloud."
