On June 7-8, 2007, the Annual IDC IT Forum & Expo, “IT-Enabled Business Transformation”, will take place in Boston, Massachusetts. The IDC IT Forum & Expo is a two-day conference and exhibition designed for IT and business executives interested in how technology can be used to enable and transform business models and processes.  

On the second day of the event, Rick Carney (CIO/VP & General Manager, Management & Infrastructure Consulting Group) will be leading a luncheon roundtable discussion entitled:  Disaster Recovery: How Planning for a One-Time Event Can Provide Value Every Day. The topic will be centered on how a focus on Disaster Recovery can drive improvements in the operations of your primary data center. Carney will discuss how properly executing operations such as consolidating storage, streamlining back-up processes, and replication can make Disaster Recovery easier and more cost effective, while providing benefits to the day to day operations of the IT staff.  

Over 50 IT and business thought leaders will provide the latest in IT-enabled business innovation and a look into the future of IT. Featured Keynote speakers include IDC Research expert John F. Gantz, leadership expert, author and Harvard Business School professor John P. Kotter, and 3-Time Super Bowl winning coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick. Belichick will be presenting on Building a Consistent Winner Through Preparation & Teamwork.
