Blueprint for
the Next Decade |
| |
|
 |
Selinna Chin
Managing Director, IDC Malaysia, Indonesia
and Philippines |
| |
|
|
The technology industry is entering
into a new period of growth, but major
change and challenges lie ahead, as growth
patterns will differ markedly from those
we saw during the earlier expansion of
the industry. Mobility. Globalization.
Macroeconomics. Convergence. Security.
Segmentation. These will be the key words.
In the IDC scenario, the second half of
the coming decade will be even more dynamic
than the first. Yes, we have to take care
of business in the short term, but at
the same time we need a long term blueprint
for successful strategies.
In this session, Ms. Chin will provide
a blueprint of the landscape for the decade
-- changes we might see coming and perhaps
the ones we won't -- and set the stage
for the rest of the sessions at Directions.
During his presentation, he will offer
answers to questions such as how far will
wireless take us? How will embedded systems
change the data centre? Where will IT
demand migrate to? Will there be a new
Internet? What do we need to be thinking
about now in order to be ready for the
next decade?

The Dynamic Enterprise: How It's Changing IT, and What to Do About It |
| |
|
|
Puni Rajah
Vice President, Research, IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
|
The nearly US$1 trillion enterprise IT market is in the midst of fundamental restructuring, driven by the need to better support - and integrate with - faster-moving business processes. Ms. Rajah will present IDC's blueprint for the next generation of enterprise IT: how major enterprise IT segments are consolidating and reshaping into a new group of killer platforms; how this promises to impact market leaders, their partners and their changing roster of competitors; and what strategies will be critical to win the hearts and minds of the changing community of IT buyers and influencers in the dynamic enterprise. |

Software Licensing: Sowing The Seeds Of Value |
| |
|
 |
Wilvin Chee
Director, Software Research, IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
|
Increasingly, IDC is witnessing a fundamental shift in the way customers are perceiving the business value of software. In the past year, many software vendors have been seeking to incorporate changes to their licensing models in order to bridge the disconnect between perceived value and software cost. IDC expects this trend to continue well into this year and beyond. Inevitably, software vendors must make market-driven structural changes to their licensing models in order to sustain competitive advantage.
In this session, Mr. Chee will discuss the underlying causes of the shift, its impacts on the software ecosystem, and the dynamics driving the need for change. Analyzing on the back of IDC's most recent studies on the subject matter, he will also explore some next-generation licensing strategies that can better resonate with today's customers. |

Datacenter
Priorities: Where Will the Focus Be? |
| |
|
 |
Avneesh
Saxena
Vice President, Computing Systems Research,
IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
|
As the dust settles on the large-scale
IT infrastructural investments made in
the past years, users are now looking
to rationalize their datacenters in the
wake of the changing global environment.
This will mean drawing-up new priorities
that better align the IT strategy with
the objectives of the business. Consolidation
and integration of IT, better management
and virtualization tools, tiered storage-network
to cope with the complex storage needs,
faster and more intelligent interconnects,
stringent security, outsourcing to optimize
cost, and utility computing are some of
the areas that users will be diligently
building into their IT plans. However,
the importance of these initiatives will
vary from one user to another. In this
session, Mr. Saxena will touch upon the
key areas of opportunity for vendors and
their partners in the coming years. |
