SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Today Burton Group, a research firm focused on in-depth analysis of enterprise
information technologies, announced the major tracks for the annual Catalyst
Conference Europe to be held in Prague, April 19-22, 2010.
Catalyst Conference brings together attendees from Fortune 500 and Global 2,000
companies to discuss significant technology topics and complex issues facing
enterprise IT organizations. This year will be unlike any other for IT, with
budgets unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels in 2010. To match this shift,
Burton Group has focused the Catalyst agenda on what IT organizations need to
know in order to make the right IT decisions and execute in a year where
producing business value will be critical.
This year, Catalyst will focus on eight core technologies transforming
enterprise IT:
* Enterprise Ready Clouds: Realistic Strategies
* Social Software in the Enterprise
* SOA: Next Generation Application Architecture
* Collaborate or Perish: The Business Value of Relationships
* Virtualisation: Transforming IT Infrastructure
* Leveraging Information to Gain Insight
* New Identity Architecture: Getting There from Here
* Networks in Motion
"Catalyst has always been the place to go for practical knowledge, things that
you can act on in your IT organization. Given the 'new normal' last year`s
economic crisis created, that pragmatic view is more important than ever. While
it appears the recovery is underway, uncertainty persists and it`s unlikely that
IT budgets will return to pre-crisis levels in 2010. So we`ve focused the
Catalyst agenda on what you need to know in order to make the right IT
decisions, plan well, spend efficiently, and execute," said Burton Group CEO and
Research Chair Jamie Lewis.
