Burton Group Provides Details for Catalyst Conference Europe

Burton Group, a research firm focused on in-depth analysis of enterprise information technologies, announced the major tracks for the annual Catalyst Conference Europe to be held in Prague, April 19-22, 2010.

Catalyst Conference brings together attendees from Fortune 500 and Global 2,000 companies to discuss technology topics and complex issues facing enterprise IT organizations. According to the Burton Group, this year will be unlike any other for IT, with budgets unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels in 2010. To match this shift, Burton Group reported that it has focused the Catalyst agenda on what IT organizations need to know in order to make the right IT decisions and execute in a year where producing business value will be critical.

This year, Catalyst will focus on eight core technologies transforming enterprise IT:

- Enterprise Ready Clouds: Realistic Strategies

- Social Software in the Enterprise

- SOA: Next Generation Application Architecture

- Collaborate or Perish: The Business Value of Relationships

- Virtualisation: Transforming IT Infrastructure

- Leveraging Information to Gain Insight

- New Identity Architecture: Getting There from Here

- Networks in Motion

"Catalyst has always been the place to go for practical knowledge, things that you can act on in your IT organization. Given the 'new normal' last year's economic crisis created, that pragmatic view is more important than ever. While it appears the recovery is underway, uncertainty persists and it's unlikely that IT budgets will return to pre-crisis levels in 2010. So we've focused the Catalyst agenda on what you need to know in order to make the right IT decisions, plan well, spend efficiently, and execute," said Burton Group CEO and Research Chair Jamie Lewis.
