"THE EXPANDING ROLE OF DATA PROTECTION INTO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, AND ENTERPRISE VALUE PROTECTION"
Presented by: Dave Ellard, Former CIO for Boston Scientific and EMC, SVP Corporate Development, Glasshouse Technologies, Inc.
Business Problem:  Data Protection has changed from being focused on Data Recovery to Enterprise Protection.
IT Solution: A new set of technologies combined with a need for significantly more mature processes. Historically, system failures and data loss typically resulted in lost time to market, resulting in the cost of re-work, lost opportunity and personal inconvenience. More recently, as scrutiny around data management has increased both by regulators wanting transparency in business dealings and by consumers wanting to ensure their privacy and personal information is protected, data protection has expanded in definition to cover not only recovery from data loss, but also data security, disaster recovery, and regulatory compliance.  Far from just additional cost of reproducing data, failures in data protection today can result in significant fines, brand confidence erosion and in the extreme criminal prosecution. With this shifting focus comes a need for even tighter controls and more mature processes in an area of IT all too often neglected as unsexy and of no value-add.  Data Protection is fast becoming the Achilles heel of many corporate governance and policy decisions and as such IT executives must develop a comprehensive strategy to address it and maintain it as a center of excellence.

“ALIGNMENT OF IT TO BUSINESS”
Moderated by: David Kluzak, Regional Manager, Mid Atlantic Region, Computer Associates
Panelists: Bruce Petro, Former CTO, American Greetings Interactive (AG Interactive) IT Division
                 Gertrude Vanhorn, CIO, Jo-Ann Stores, Inc.
Discussion: IT organizations are under pressure to better understand their companies’ strategic and tactical goals and to more closely align their technology investments with those goals. The desired end result is to maximize IT contribution to the performance of the business. Many organizations are struggling with IT best practices and compliance because of poor linkage between technology management and the business. IT organizations must first understand and model the key processes that drive the business and enable regulatory compliance, and then link IT services to the management and monitoring of those processes. To accomplish this, they need both an effective methodology and the requisite technology for highly disciplined IT management. Join us for an interactive discussion that focuses on how to accomplish successful alignment among 3 areas: technology, business, and the shareholder.

Doug Hubbard's bio
"FOUR REVELATIONS: FINDINGS FROM 10 YEARS OF MEASURING IT RISK AND VALUE WITH MATHEMATICAL METHODS"
Presented by: Doug Hubbard, Inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and has critical praise from Gartner, Meta, Forester, and Giga Information Group. His articles and interviews are published in CIO Magazine, Information Week and Baseline Magazine. He derives his findings from 45 case studies done with the AIE method over the last 10 years.
Business Problem: Most IT organizations don’t measure risk in the same way an actuary or statistician would and most don’t attempt to build economic models to estimate even the most “intangible” benefits. This results in missing some of the most important trends, risks and metrics in IT today.
Solution: Using data from 45 statistical case studies with a total of over 3,000 variables and hundreds of tracked forecasts, Hubbard has found four key revelations that may profoundly effect what you measure, where you invest and how you control risks.

Discussion: CIO's sometimes have trouble controlling their own fate in their organization. What they can strive to control and direct is how much value they provide to their organization. How does a CIO constantly provide value, whether it be in the short or longer term? How does a CIO interact with the board of directors, the CFO and executive management? How is success measured? In this process, how do CIOs keep a balance between work and personal life?
The panelists and moderator will provide insights to the above questions from 3 perspectives: member of the Board of Directors, CFO and CIO.
