‘Despite a general acknowledgement that the global economy is improving, the rewards have yet to be realized in Europe. While the U.S. economy experienced a real GDP growth of 3.1% in 2003, the European economy grew by a mere 0.8%‘, states IDC. According to this research firm this trend is set to continue in 2004, and raises a number of challenges for European companies, caught between the requirements of increasing efficiencies while competing on a global basis through innovation and growth. Issues such as return on investment, cost reduction, efficiency and the need to optimise existing ICT infrastructure, are here to stay and set the basis for IDCs annual European IT Forum, which takes place on September 27 and 28, in Paris. Europe contact Center will endorse this event as Media Partner.
‘With signs of growth in the global economy, forward thinking executives now realize that growth aligned with increased productivity, efficiency, and flexibility is now core to medium- and long-term success. This is changing the dynamic for CIOs, who now have to build a strategy for innovation and growth, devoting new resources to providing the foundation for success, while not forgetting the lessons of recent years, says Roberto Masiero, president of IDC EMEA. The European IT Forum 2004 aims to provide CEOs, CIOs, and senior executives from European companies with the insight and knowledge enabling them to lead their organizations through the unprecedented challenges of the current environment and beyond.
The IDC European IT Forum will be held at Le Meridian Montparnasse . Its key speakers list includes, Jean-Paul Fitoussi, Joseph Stiglitz, Nicholas Carr, Don Tapscott, Paul Saffo, Kevin Mitnick and Deutsche Bank, Finnair, Endesa, and Autostadt CIOs. IT Forum 2004 sponsors are Alcatel, Symantec, RSA, SIA,ISS, Novell, Cisco, HP, Siemens, Fujitsu Siemens, SAP and IMB.
