Ovum Strategy Briefings are high-level, business-to-business events that bring leading IT suppliers and solution providers together with senior-level decision makers from end-user organisations. The format is quite unique, consisting of a keynote introduction by
Ovum, followed by presentations from the Primary Sponsors and other participating sponsors. The day concludes with a Forum Debate, chaired by
Ovum, which will also have representatives from the Primary Sponsors.
In addition to the presentations, all participating sponsors will exhibit at the event, and during the course of the day there is ample opportunity for attendees to examine the exhibition area for more face-to-face discussions.

IT Governance
Why True IT Governance is More than Just Good IT Management Practices; Even More so in the Down Economy
The down economy has focused many organisations on the need to reduce costs (affecting projects, people, and IT services); and, thus, IT Governance (or, more importantly, effective IT Governance) has become more important than ever at a time when organisations can least afford it.

Managing and Exploiting VMware's Desktop Virtualisation Technology
Understand the Implications and Practicalities of Implementing VIEW
Increasingly the end users of IT systems are geographically dispersed due to the globalisation of markets, which by implication increases the separation between the end users and the applications and data that they are using. These end users are also becoming more demanding in terms of the user experience, and have a greater number of reference points about their computing experience with which to compare the corporate solutions. Ovum considers the influence of the consumer market and the growth of social networking, particularly its ability for the user to access their information and keep in touch with their friends and family from a number of different devices and locations, as a significant factor in the growth of these corporate demands.

Quality Assurance in the Software Delivery Challenge
Reducing Rework in Traditional and Agile Environments
Testing is more critical to successful software development than ever before. The steady, incremental adoption of Service Oriented Architecture, the introduction of advanced development frameworks such as Spring, the expansion of web applications, and development methodologies such as Agile practices – these trends all combine to emphasise the need for extensive testing. However, the types of testing undertaken and the strategies to optimise the tests conducted are equally important aspects.

Business Intelligence in Financial Services
Strategies for Better Performance After the Financial Crisis
Institutions in the financial services sector (encompassing retail and investment banking, insurance and capital markets) have made substantial investments in Business Intelligence (BI) over the past decade. BI technologies can help financial institutions to manage risk, detect fraud, leverage customer insights and gain visibility into their profitability. However, the enormous upheaval in the industry over the last eighteen months unquestionably exposed glaring inadequacies in levels of ‘intelligence’, with many institutions either operating in blissful ignorance of the devastating time-bombs ticking away inside critical business units or choosing to wilfully ignore ringing alarm bells when a more prudent approach was clearly required.
