Welcome to the launch of the CTO Council for NYSIA. Our goal is to create a forum for the discussion and sharing that issues that matter to CTOs. The coverage will be broad - leveraging the presence of big business and the technical power houses in the tri-state area.
Our first meeting provides a unique opportunity to hear IBM's Global Technology Outlook, delivered by Dr. Wlodek W. Zadrozny, Manager Technical Strategy in Worldwide Operations at IBM Research. The session will be chaired by Dr. Ram Chillarege, Executive VP Software & Technology, Opus360 Corporation.
The Global Technology Outlook (GTO ) presents the IBM Research Division's vision of the future for information technology. It includes forecasts of base technology trends and how they enable new uses and capabilities for information technology. IBM uses the GTO for strategy development and shares it with select customers and industry partners. The Research Division management uses it to spot disruptions in our current areas of business and identification of "whitespace" opportunities typically not covered by existing execution strategies.
