Microsoft Canada IT Executive Roadmap Tour
I attended the London session of this event yesterday. The presentation was well received. I encourage IT managers in cities where these events are yet to be held to attend.
The session started with the concept that the top 25% of IT capable firms grew revenue 68% – correction – 6.8% – (misread my notes – thanks for pointing that out Ruth) faster per year, and realized 23% higher revenue per employee. The discussion centered mostly around new tools for virtualization, security, and system management – all intended to make life easier for IT managers.
For more detail take a look at the ITManagers blog
(Disclosure – I am an occasional guest blogger on Microsoft’s IT Managers blog, and am on Microsoft’ s “trusted advisor” list – but neither is compensated.)
David -
Just one correction on the stats – the top IT capable firms were found to grow revenue 6.8% faster than those at the bottom of the ranking. Still very statistically significant, but a little different from 68%! The full report can be found here – http://tinyurl.com/2qfqxp (Word document download).
It was great to meet you in person finally and London was a great audience. Rob and I both enjoyed presenting and then having the chance to talk to people over lunch.
Cheers,
Ruth
