"CIO PERSPECTIVES: VALUE CREATION THROUGH INTEGRATED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS"
Moderated by: Dave Kluzak, Regional Manager, Computer Associates International
Panelists: Kevin Kern,SVP & CIO, Computer Associates, Inc.
Anuj Dhanda, CIO, PNC Bank
Kerry Kerlin, CIO, St. Vincent's Hospital
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 IT has the unique opportunity amidst regulations, competitive markets, and “do more with less” to achieve Value Creation through Integrated Business Solutions.

"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
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.
