--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR)
WHAT: Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR) Technology Leadership
Forum, "Prospering In Your IT Ecosystem"
Although a technology leader's primary objective, "to make or
save money through the use of IT" might sound simple,
increased expectations from tech-savvy business
stakeholders, customers, and end users have made it
complex. Growing influence from internal and external
parties, including technology suppliers, has also made the
IT organization look more like an ecosystem than a
self-contained business unit. Forrester's Technology
Leadership Forum 2006 will address how CIOs can balance
and benefit from those relationships to prosper in the new
environment.
