Microsoft South Africa is a proud gold sponsor for this year`s METAmorphosis 2005 conference, META Group`s 16th annual forum, to be held from 24 to 26 May at Caesars Convention Centre.
"Over the last three decades, technology has transformed the way we work, play and communicate. Today, we access information and people from around the world in an instant. Groundbreaking technologies have opened the door to innovations in every field of human endeavour, delivering new opportunities, convenience and value to our lives. Since its founding in 1975, Microsoft has been a leader in this transformation. In line with this, Microsoft is proud to be aligning with the METAmorphosis 2005 conference," says Mike Cathie, business and marketing officer for Microsoft South Africa.
"The conference, aptly themed: Driving pervasive integration through IT innovation, is critical to business success today. Microsoft understands that innovation is what sets companies apart and ensures they survive challenging times," says Cathie.
These combined business and technology changes require a new model for technology-infused business, a model in which pervasive and continuous breakthrough performance is a mandate for flourishing and, even, survival.
META Group`s breakthrough performance model is built on three interconnected foundations: pervasive integration, the management of innovation portfolios and active measurement, that will assist organisations in trying times.
META Group has formalised the business breakthrough performance model and its three supporting foundations in what is called the Technology-Enabled Enterprise Framework - a conceptual architecture supported by tools, templates and methods.
With TEEF as an overarching theme, METAmorphosis 2005 will bring together top industry analysts from around the globe.
