Solving The Cio Paradox At Mit

Join us on May 19, 2010 as our panel of industry experts discuss the implications across all industry segments.

Inheriting legacy applications running on inflexible IT infrastructure as well as architecting next generation and new applications amidst a data explosion with increasing demand for lower cost data centers is considered par for the course.

The complexity of the CIO role and these management decisions highlight the multiple paradoxes faced by the CIO. CIOs hold critical and strategic responsibilities in a company's executive team and yet they may be boxed into traditional "information management," roles. In this keynote panel, CIOs of leading corporations will address cost containment versus innovation, the perception of being seen as enablers versus drivers, and ponder the question of why many holding this critical role are not even members of the executive team.

The panelists are an all-star cast of experts who have had a big dose of industry experience. Including: Moderator: Ms. Maryfran Johnson Editor in Chief CIO Magazine and Events.

Panel Members: James McGlennon, CIO, Liberty Mutual Anne Margulies, CIO of Commonwealth of Massachusetts Mr. Bill Brown, CIO, Iron Mountain Inc Mr. Tom Pyke Retired CIO U.S. Department of Energy.
