Jun. 12, 2012 : Hot Topics in Technology

Thu, 10 May 2012 17:30:40 +1000

We are very pleased to invite you to this exciting Live Connections - Women in IT networking event jointly held with our colleagues of the ACS-W and kindly hosted and sponsored by Deloitte.

This event will take the format of an Innovation Café giving you the chance to ask questions and contribute to the discussion and it will also be a great networking opportunity.

Please note that this is a co-ed event, so we welcome our male colleagues.

We will explore three hot topics captivating the ICT industry in today’s digital world:

Social Media - How do you balance the benefits and risks associated with Social Media?

From friends on Facebook to enterprise-grade collaboration networks, social media has infiltrated our personal and professional lives, offering us both opportunities and challenges. How can organisations best harness the power and potential of social media, while managing the risks associated with it?

Managing Enterprise Content - How do you manage the growth of structured and unstructured information to maximise impact and value across an organisation?

Effective Enterprise Content Management (ECM) delivers the right content to the right people at the right time. Far too often the solution is defined purely by technology and fails to understand what information is needed and when. How then, should ECM solutions be tailored to effectively capture and deliver information to meet specific user needs?

Managing IT Projects - Have new Project Management tools and methodologies enhanced the success of IT projects?

A myriad of traditional and new project management tools and methodologies are used and abused in organisations today.

Do the newer methodologies such as Agile and Project Portfolio Management tools enhance the level of project success?
What truly drives value in the delivery of IT projects?

Do not miss this fantastic opportunity to network with your peers and gain insights from a wonderful group of ICT industry experts working across sectors such as Mining, Education, Banking and Professional Services.
