Morse and Ariadne CIO Dinner

Is IT sleepwalking to inefficiency?

For the last 20 years or more IT has been seen as the backbone of business expansion and a prime source of competitive advantage. Budget has been lavished upon it, almost without question. Distributed architectures have encouraged a proliferation of servers and storage devices.

Leaner, meaner, greener is the clarion call to business in 2008. Yet the current reality is that the cost of people, power, cooling, the space to operate these systems is increasing at a far faster rate than most business overheads. Do CFOs really know how efficiently they are using their assets? Crucially, does corporate UK have the right tools and management practices in place to really know how to invest in the right infrastructure and actively manage its ongoing IT costs?

Join us and a dozen of your peers for dinner to debate these questions and more and help formulate a joint approach to ensure that UK plc gets the IT systems it deserves; systems that are fit for the challenges ahead.

By invitation only, but if you are a CIO or CTO, please request an invitation to fraser.harding@ariadnecapital.com - Ariadne's CTO in Residence.
