WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) IT Forum 2007:
Delivering Business Results Through IT Excellence

What must the IT, business, and vendor communities do to
enable IT excellence? CIOs strive to operate IT as a business,
using business metrics to market IT more effectively.
But operational excellence alone does not suffice — IT must
also steer the strategic technology investments that enable
digital business, driving further business innovation. The
combination is called IT excellence. At this Event, Forrester
analysts will deliver research and demonstrate how every
professional in the IT organization — from CIO, to enterprise
architect, to application development professional, and down
the line — contributes to IT excellence. Spotlight tracks
will focus on the issues facing large IT organizations, the
future of IT and leveraging enterprise mobility to increase
business value.
