We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
The agenda for this event has been developed by an advisory board of
CIO’s from some of the Boston area’s most respected companies, and
includes interactive workshops, keynotes and networking opportunities.
The event provides an opportunity to stay updated on the latest business
technology solutions and services, broaden the scope of partner/supplier
networks, and build a sustainable local community of IT executives.
Who: Bryan Tam, Vice President of NTT America, and Bill Yeack,
EVP of Integralis will be leading a discussion on the enterprise view of
managing global security in a virtualized world. As key leaders from
sister companies of the NTT Communications family, they bring together
extensive combined experience in global infrastructure and IT security
management. They will share best practices for managing the complexities
of a globally secure IT infrastructure; compliance with varying
regulatory requirements; operating across countries in different time
zones with different languages and cultures; and managing
virtualization, cloud computing and network availability.
Why: Technology and innovation continue to shrink the size of our
world and increase the demands placed on IT executives. To remain
competitive and seize market opportunities, companies are increasingly
expanding their reach into countries around the world. It can be
challenging to remain nimble while managing multiple vendors,
technologies and IT infrastructures. With its deep experience in
providing global ICT solutions and its strength in Asia Pacific, NTT
Communications is uniquely suited to help enterprises manage the
complexity of global networking and IT operations.
