Building on the success of the first METAmorphosis Conference in San Francisco, South Africa can now prepare themselves for the same high-level, interactive sessions with top analysts from around the globe for the METAmorphosis 2005 conference. Top South African companies such as arivia.kom, Microsoft Corporation, MTN, Oracle, SAP Africa and Software AG are aligning with the META Group to sponsor this event.
Based on META Group`s practical research, strict objectivity and personalised service, METAmorphosis is a true symposium that will provide practical guidance on how to achieve breakthrough business performance. The METAmorphosis technology showcase, running for the 16th year is a must-attend event scheduled for the 24-26 May 2005 at Caesars Convention Centre.
Analysts are available for interactive one-on-one meetings to enable delegates to discuss their IT and business plans and to answer questions. In addition it will be an opportunity to hear the latest news of the Gartner / META Group consolidation.
Peter Riches, managing director META Group South Africa, says that feedback from a full house of delegates in San Francisco had been excellent. "They liked the Breakthrough Business Performance theme and model with its three supporting foundations in what META Group calls the Technology-Enabled Enterprise Framework (TEEF) - a conceptual architecture supported by tools, templates, and methods. This Breakthrough Performance model is built on three interconnected foundations: Pervasive Integration, the Management of Innovation Portfolios; and Active Measurement."
"This helps organisations to focus in order to optimise for change through transformation and innovation, pervasive integration, and ultimately excellent execution to achieve targeted performance," he says.
Backed by six local META Group analysts and consultants and ten international analysts, these experts will sort through the hype and provide actionable guidance along with the necessary take-aways you`ll need to master your innovation, integration, and execution challenges.
