In these uncertain economic times, companies are facing tough decisions whether to save cash or invest for the future. The IT department is coming under increasing pressure as the business desires more and more applications, and better service levels, yet the available resources are being reduced. ASEAN manufacturing CIOs are now faced with difficult choices.

However, before taking any decision to optimize the IT environment, CIOs must answer the following questions:

• What are the key business drivers and process improvement areas that ASEAN manufacturers are focusing upon?
• What are the priority areas of IT investment for ASEAN manufacturers?
• How does my company’s IT investment compares with my peers’ in the same industry segment?

This Manufacturing Insights Half-day CIO Executive Briefing will showcase findings from IDC/ Manufacturing Insights’ latest Manufacturing Business and IT priorities Survey and Manufacturing IT Benchmarking Survey in the ASEAN region.

Designed to provide the answers that the manufacturing CIO always wanted to know, it will discuss the latest trends, benchmarks and strategies in IT investment in key manufacturing verticals like Automotive, High-tech, Consumer Electronics, Chemicals, Food & Beverage and Industrial Equipment, and spanning a comprehensive range of IT categories including infrastructure, software, services, staffing and IT operations.

Each delegate will get a complimentary copy of the
"ASEAN Manufacturing IT Benchmarking 2009: Executive Summary" report.
