In this provocative and entertaining session, Chou will talk about how CIOs can use the lessons of their past experience with big IT industry shifts to guide your thinking now.

| 2:15 pm - 2:45 pm | The CIO Collaboration Paradox Phil Edholm, Vice President of Technology Strategy and Innovation, Avaya Communications and collaboration are a major challenge for today’s CIOs, largely because the devices and user experiences tend to fall short of what enterprise workers need in easy-to-use tools to help them connect, communicate and collaborate at a moment’s notice. High-end telepresence solutions are too expensive for most companies. Low-tech document sharing only goes so far. Neither offer the increased productivity and process efficiency of seamless integration across video, instant messaging, screen and document sharing, email and web. In this industry expert session, you’ll hear about the changing face of business collaboration and how the directions emerging in this field can help CIOs fuel corporate innovation and growth.
