PRE-MEMORIAL DAY SPECIAL: BRING A GUEST FOR FREE!!

• WHERE: The Newton Marriott Hotel
• WHEN: Wednesday, May 23, 2012: 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM
• WHAT: Interactive Discussion on the Cloud, Mobile Content Management, and Bring Your Own Device

As the speed of business accelerates and information technology evolves into the social enterprise over the next decade, users must rely on new systems of engagement, where cloud applications offer the accessibility and agility to manage business transactions, enterprise content, and interactions between people – all facilitated by a variety of systems and devices. These developments have spawned new high-tech applications, products and trends, such as virtualization, widgets and bring your own device (BYOD). Content creators and business users need to be more cognizant of the impact that ubiquitous cloud and mobile systems have on security, confidentiality and compliance. In order to effectively compete in today’s marketplace, businesses must seek speedier and more effective means to unlock enterprise content contained in complex systems of managed documents, stored data and company records.

Please join us for a discussion among end users, consultants, and software innovators who will address what to consider in assessing and managing the risks associated with cloud and content management, including BYOD, consumer file sharing services, and social impacts. Our panelists are Roger Bottum, VP of Marketing, SpringCM; Christopher J Luise, Executive VP, ADNET Technologies; and Marc D. Anderson, Co-Founder and President of Sympraxis Consulting LLC, Newton, MA.  The discussion will be driven by questions from the audience.  A hot breakfast will be served.
