Keynote
Address: Enterprise Killer Applications 2010 and Beyond
Speaker: Andy Kyte - Research VP, Gartner
"ERP, CRM, SCM - is that it? Is the enterprise applications portfolio full? Certainly not - the convergence of continued global competition, new business models and technology innovation will give birth to new, mission-critical systems. Many of these killer applications of the future already exist in embryonic form - learn how to spot them and nurture them, and which infrastructure and architecture investments will be likely to support successful early adoption.
Client Issues: What types of enterprise business processes still have potential for substantial improvements in efficiency and effectiveness from the deployment of IT-enabled solutions? What could be the enterprise killer applications of 2010? What investments should enterprise management be making today in order to realise the business benefits potential offered by the new killer applications."

Gartner Predicts: Applications Software 2008 - From Diversity to Fusion
Speaker: Kristian Steenstrup - Research VP, Gartner
Buddy: Pranav Kumar - Research Director, Gartner
"Application software is delivering sophisticated support for the enterprise's customers, employees, partnerships, and business processes. But along with sophistication has come high complexity and often, high cost. Enterprises will demand that the next generation of application software resolve these and other challenges.
Key Issues: Which business trends will most influence the direction of application software? What are Gartner’s Top 10 Predictions for application software through 2008? What IT and application software investments should you make in 2004?”

Gartner Predicts: From Silicon to Services - the future of hardware, infrastructure and operations
Speaker: Phil Sargeant - Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Vinod Nair - Analyst, Gartner
"Mainframes and tape drives still exist in the enterprise infrastructure of the 21st century, alongside an exploding universe of virtual devices, from storage through servers to clients. Hardware and infrastructure will always matter, but in the world of utility computing, real-time infrastructure and open
source software the future of hardware and IT operations is as much about policy, process, deployment, and architecture as it is about Moore’s Law and mainframes."

Gartner Predicts: Networks will drive the business - with or without the wires
Speaker: Geoff Johnson - VP & Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Kobita Desai - Principal Analyst, Gartner
"Predicting which of the many cool wireless technologies will turn into hot business opportunities and how convergence will affect wired networks will be key areas of discussion. The session will also predict which networking vendors and network service providers will once again flourish as the market stabilizes.
Client Issues: Which communications technologies (i.e., WiFi, VoIP, broadband, 3G, optical, etc.) should be part of a business' networking roadmap? What impact will the convergence of communications and applications have on the way business is done? How can companies leverage network investments into tangible business results?"

Gartner Predicts: The Vision for next generation software infrastructure
Speaker: Matt Hotle - Group VP & Distinguished Analyst, Gartner
Buddy: Ian Bertram - Vice President, Gartner
"The next generation of software infrastructure, specifically application integration and middleware, application development, and web services is undergoing substantial transformation and remains a strong source of emerging opportunities. This presentation provides a forward-looking, opportunity seeking assessment of the status, challenges and innovation potential associated with software infrastructure - software that will form the technical foundation for the next-generation enterprise information framework: service-oriented, event-driven, intelligent, agile and real-time.
Client Issues: What are the key transformations in software infrastructure and architecture that will impact enterprise computing through 2009? It is a given that innovation remains in software infrastructure - it the innovation incremental or radical in nature? What are the IT management imperatives today, to maintain competitive enterprise business software infrastructure through 2009?”
