The reality and the hype of business intelligence, analytics and big data

Effective use of analytics is a key enabler in turning data into insight. Making more use of data for the benefit of the business is something that is high on every CIO's agenda, but with such a myriad of products, services and denominations for similar offerings, what is good and what is not in the world of analytics? In this CW500 Club event, we invite our expert IT leaders to share their experiences of the reality of big data.

Cloud vs outsourcing – is it worth outsourcing any more

The growth of cloud computing is changing the way many IT leaders look at IT sourcing. This comes at a time when firms who pursued large, all-encompassing outsourcing deals in the last decade are moving away from such mega-contracts and increasingly looking at multi-sourcing. But with software and hardware services now available on demand, often at commodity prices, through the cloud – what role will outsourcing play? In this CW500 Club event, we hear from IT leaders about their sourcing decisions, looking at where and how cloud offers a better option, and ask what will be the future for outsourcing as more and more IT services move to the cloud.
