IT is increasingly central to business strategy and execution, yet the IT organization still has to prove its value. Forrester's CEO, George F. Colony, recently suggested that IT has become so central to the business that it should be renamed Business Technology (BT). 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.
What must the IT, business, and vendor communities do to enable IT excellence? Forrester's IT Forum 2007 will show you how to achieve IT excellence and build your digital business with the innovative technologies, architecture, and IT practices that drive innovation and, ultimately, top-line growth.
