"As Goods Flow, So Must Information" With single supply chains located across multiple locations and goods speeding across the world, from manufacturing hubs in Asia to end-consumers in the US, Europe and Africa in today's global economy, there is a growing demand for better information flows and visibility of goods in the supply chain. Richard Owens discusses where the market is heading in terms of how organisations use and transmit information both internally and externally, focusing specifically on the need to facilitate the creation of interfaces between 3PL systems and customers' ERP systems and the increasing drive towards zero inventory levels requiring fast, accurate information and speed of order fulfillment.

| 10:10am | "Data Centre Means Business"
Data centres are the heart of any business and as we automate more and more business systems, IT is pressured to ensure business is enabled. All too often though, businesses can feel constrained by the capabilities of their information technology (IT) and supporting infrastructure. This presentation explores key areas of focus for the future data centre and will stimulate thinking on how to enable high performance, quick deployment and easy to operate through change, be scalable and adaptable to support business growth, and how to leverage innovative solutions. In such a competitive world any outage in the data centre creates service disruptions, lost revenue and market reputation.

With their expertise and commitment, managed services providers can build high-bandwidth data connectivity as well as being able to comprehensively monitor network performance, enabling the enterprise to focus more on key business goals and profit.

| 1:15pm | Educating IT Professionals for Business IT Alignment
So, how do you shape IT professionals to be business oriented, consultative, and to think and act in ways that demonstrate that are well aligned with "the business" side of their internal organisations or customers? You can't just tell IT professionals to "be more aligned to the business." That won't help. You need to immerse people in experiences and examples that show how this is done, without even necessarily saying this is what is happening. Based on compelling examples from the SMU School of Information Systems programmes, this presentation will provide insights into how we can shape fresh graduates and working professionals into IT professionals who are well aligned with the business environments they work within. Dr Steven Miller, Dean, School of Information Systems, Singapore Management University and Professor of Information Systems (Practice) |
