"Innovative technology empowers executives, managers and workforces to operate their businesses faster and smarter,” noted Mark Smith, CEO and chief research officer at Ventana Research. “Our research finds more than half of organizations value technology innovation as very important, and yet only nine percent say they are very satisfied with how effectively technology increases business value. The Technology Innovation Summit will bring business and IT executives together with market and technology leaders to interact and exchange ideas on how to innovate through using technology and use best practices. Summit attendees will leave with insights that will enable them to implement immediate change that will have lasting impacts.”
