The third annual Software Congress started today at The Address Hotel, Dubai Marina. The event, conducted by CPI and CNME, brings together CIOs and IT managers to discuss the changing rules of software creation and delivery in the Middle East.
“With crunched budgets and shrinking margins, CIOs are forced to put new projects on hold, and begin to consider migration from their legacy systems in order to gain more efficiencies. And even if they are actively migrating, then they are looking to increase productivity on existing investments across an organisation,” said Richard Judd, MD of CPI.
“Software, for the CIO of this year, is all about driving efficiency, increasing productivity and helping him inch that step closer to, if not adding to the bottomline, at least keeping it stable. Software Congress 2012 will address this extraordinary change in circumstances in the Middle East, and present strategies to integrate the new realities into the overall IT functioning of an organisation,” added Sathya Mithra Ashok, Senior Editor of CPI Technology.
Software Congresss 2012 is supported by Etisalat, EMC, Avaya, Dell and Epicor.
