PCQ Summit 09

The current economic slowdown has impacted just about every organization

today. With even more trying times ahead, the only thing left for organizations

to do is to slash their IT spending and focus on getting more out of their

existing IT infrastructure.

Thankfully, there are lots of technologies that have picked up momentum over the

recent past, which can help CIOs in improving the efficiency of their existing

IT infrastructure.

The PCQuest SummIT for infrastructure planning and management was a business

convention meant to throw some light on these technologies and trends. The

convention had two tracks, one in the morning for IT managers and another in the

evening for CIOs. The morning track focused on providing lots of hands-on advice

and on-stage demos to help the IT managers understand how they could manage

their IT infrastructure better. The evening track focused on the strategic

issues related to the subject.

Both tracks were well-attended and remained very interactive, clearly

indicating a strong desire amongst the IT fraternity to understand how to combat

the current economic crisis.
