InformationWeek Launches Enterprise Efficiency, A Unique Business Technology Community
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 -- UBM TechWeb's InformationWeek today announced Enterprise Efficiency (http://www.enterpriseefficiency.com), bringing together a participative community of business technology leaders and executive decision makers to exchange and share peer experiences, enterprise strategies, real-world best practices, and perspective on the most pressing business technology issues and opportunities.
With business technology leaders under immense pressure to juggle conflicting roles as both innovators and cost cutters, this new site, part of the InformationWeek Business Technology Network, organizes together business and technology thought leaders into a cutting-edge, peer community. The site enables forward-thinking leaders and their enterprises to operate as efficiently as possible, focusing less on day-to-day "keeping the lights on" tasks and more on freeing resources for business-critical innovation.
"Enterprise Efficiency is immensely exciting, because it offers a unique opportunity for CIOs and other business technology leaders to come together in a vibrant, free-flowing community specifically designed to meet their needs," said Fredric Paul, the site's Editor-in-Chief and Community Activist. "Whether it's debating the implications of a new development in the technology industry, discussing how to make IT really matter in the enterprise, or pondering the best way to deal with upper management, Enterprise Efficiency is the place to go for insight, analysis, and support from both peers and experts."
By combining multiple daily blog posts with an innovative, purpose-driven community, Enterprise Efficiency is designed to foster the sort of ongoing debates that are truly valuable to today's business technology decision makers. These discussions center on the disruptive technologies and trends that most challenge today's leaders, including:
1. Cloud Computing: Myths, Realities & Metrics
2. The Business Value of Tomorrow's Data Center
3. The Mobile Enterprise: Devices, Apps & Services
4. Corporate IT Politics: Making Them Dance in Your Favor
5. The Secure Enterprise: Frameworks That Enable Agile Access
6. Managing TCO While Driving Innovation
7. Virtualization: The Mandatory Ingredient
8. GRC (Governance, Risk Management, Compliance) in Practice
9. Outsourcing: End-to-End Collaboration
10. Automation: The Future of IT Management
Enterprise Efficiency has carefully selected its impressive community of expert bloggers, including CIOs, CEOs, analysts, consultants, journalists, and other leaders with a wide range of IT backgrounds and areas of expertise. This uniquely qualified group is using Enterprise Efficiency to share ideas, insights, observations, and best practices, as well as the support they need to cope with these historic challenges. And they're doing it with unparalleled verve, a provocative style, and take-no-prisoners honesty and directness.

Efficiency

InformationWeek Research
