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?"

Government IT Architecture: Framework for New Technologies
Speaker: Steve Bittinger - Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Sumit Malik - Senior Analyst, Gartner
"New and emerging technologies bring disruptive potential to government enterprises. A flexible, sustainable, well-governed architecture allows governments to introduce, mainstream, and retire technologies while focusing on meeting the mission.
Key Issues: How is architecture best developed to adapt to new and emerging technologies? How do governments with federated IT responsibilities develop sustainable enterprise architectures? Where is value found in enterprise architectures?"

"Emerging Management Practices for Government"
Speaker: John Roberts - VP & Research Director, Gartner
Buddy: Girish Trivedi - Gartner
"The history of the public sector CIO now has passed 10 years and there are ample examples of successes and failures. There are also some clear trends emerging that offer excellent indicators of when a CIO will succeed and when it will fail. Along with the proper role of the CIO, the impact of procurement processes on the ability to buy and deploy emerging technologies and some alternative approaches will be discussed.
Key Issues: What factors will determine success or failure of the IS organization? How can the procurement process improve rather than
diminish the likelihood of success for IT? What barriers unique to government inhibit the deployment of emerging technologies?”

Emerging
Technologies and the Impact on Your Business
Applications Strategy
Speaker: Kristian Steenstrup - Research VP, Gartner
Buddy: Sumit Malik - Senior Analyst, Gartner
"Technology requirements for competitive advantage continue to change. Users must be aware of these changes and how they will impact their current and future business applications, strategies and applications. In some cases, users may be pushed back into developing the capabilities themselves. RFID, SOBA, Web Services and Business Process Fusion will be some of the topics of discussion in this presentation.
Client Issues: What are the emerging technologies that will most greatly affect a business applications strategy? What are the short term impacts of these technologies on business applications and how should users react? What are the longer term impacts of these technologies on business applications and how should users react?”
