Session Period	#	REGAL III	#	Gulmohar	#	REGAL I & II
13:30 - 14:15	4a	Achieving the Real Time Enterprise Speaker: P R Venketrama Raja, Vice Chairman, MD & CEO - Ramco Real Time Enterprise solutions ensure upto-the-moment information, and provide real-time decision support alternatives, thereby allowing superior operational management for competitive advantage. The Real Time Enterprise is a vision that calls for a rapid, on time, within budget and high quality delivery. In today's scenario, change in business processes and technologies, diversity in existing IT assets, and continuous innovation in business initiatives is the norm. Current generation enterprise products, custom solutions and application integration tools are just not geared to cope with such complexity and therefore, they cannot address the needs of a real-time enterprise. Ramco adopts a 'personalized assembly' approach for software solutions to make the Real Time Enterprise a reality. All applications into the future will not be 'bought' or 'custom made', but will be assembled for the unique needs of each customer. Ramco's new generation solution delivery platform makes assembled solutions a reality. It has a business process approach to application architecture, a complete environment for delivery through all stages of the application life cycle, a rugged and flexible technology architecture, high levels of automation in the development and delivery environment and a repository of pre-assembled business value chains. Ramco Systems has invested over 2000 person years of effort in conceptualizing, proving and implementing such assembled solutions utilizing an internal solution delivery platform called Ramco VirtualWorks™. This session provide valuable insights as to why assembled solutions have a far higher potential to make the Real Time Enterprise a reality, as compared to any other approach.	4b	Adaptive Enterprise : A Business Imperative Speaker: Neelam Dhawan, Director – Sales & Enterprise Business Group - Hewlett Packard In uncertain economic times today, the only certainty is change.
