WAIT & SEE OR INVEST NOW: IT STRATEGIES FOR 2023
SHI Summit | Wait & See or Invest Now: IT Strategies for 2023
Economic, environmental, and geopolitical issues are prompting many organizations to adopt a “wait and see” approach. Meanwhile, their more disruptive competitors will act with courage to strategically invest in technologies that support new business models, drive growth and keep employees engaged.
SHI’s Fall Summit for 2022 will help you decide when and where to invest for the best operational resiliency during the downturn while placing your organization at the forefront to capitalize on the inevitable economic recovery.
Join SHI and your peers to hear how organizations:
- Build digital resiliency and agility with hybrid cloud solutions
- Address post-pandemic adjustments to collaborate better
- Protect staff and overcome complex cyber threats
- Optimize IT and software investments
- Best practices and lessons learned from real-life organizations
