The way you manage and assess IT value has a seismic impact on your entire organization. Improved customer relationships? Yes. Ramped-up profits? Absolutely. Enterprise transformation? Unquestionably! If you get it right.

Because all the strategic planning in the world amounts to nothing without stringent financial controls and a razor-sharp eye for accountability. The bad old days of runaway IT spending may be behind us, but it doesn't take too many years of growth to erase the painful memories and open the door to returning bad habits.

This conference will lay down some of the fundamentals for financial discipline in IT management. At the heart of the process are the CFO and CIO: theirs is one of the most critical relationships in any organization. We will analyze the success factors, flag the pitfalls, and spotlight techniques for effective financial management of IT-from aligning spending with strategy to managing IT security. There has never been a more urgent need for the CFO's input. There has never been a better time for an event like CFO's 5th Annual IT Value Conference and Exhibition. So register yourself-and your team of finance and technology professionals-today.

CFO's exciting Fall Expo gives you the chance to network and share ideas with other senior finance executives on vitally important technology topics, including:
  • The CFO/CIO partnership - critical factors that drive success
  • IT planning for sustainable compliance and sound governance
  • Corporate performance management: how to choose the right system and make it work for you
  • Sophisticated assessment of complex IT spending initiatives
  • Emerging trends in business forecasting
  • Candid war stories on the risks and rewards on outsourcing, including offshoring
  • Assessing IT security risk management: efficiency vs. effectiveness.
