Today organizations have to deliver a more business-based approach to technology spending.  No longer can technology be acquired just because it exists.  The need today is to justify spending and investment in terms of the organization's top and bottom lines, and to focus on IT improvements that reduce costs and improve customer service levels.  IT must be aligned with the business, or be outsourced.

Regardless of how your organization operates it's business,  IT service levels, end user satisfaction and technology availability is visible not only to the CIO, but the CEO as well.  Further, even with headcount and budget reductions in IT, there can never be any allowable decrease in service levels.

The Business Forum first worked with Candle Corporation almost 20 years ago and they have led the world in this technology ever since.  Today 70% of the world's data centers are employing technology that Candle developed.

This luncheon will bring together some of the Southland's leading users of technology with some of the world's leading experts in this endeavor to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the use of data on organization-wide improvement programs.  Where the conversation will go will depend entirely upon the interaction at the table, but it should be a very useful use of time for everyone involved.

We invite you to join us for lunch at the Wilshire Grand Hotel on February 13th, 2003 in a gathering of your peers to review the options available to us all as we go forward.
