1. EMC Prospect --Joseph M. Tucci
| EMC Corporation is the world
leader in products, services, and solutions for information
storage and its management. For over 20 years, EMC has
been devoting itself to providing new storage technologies
to help its customers store more information in a faster
and more reliable fashion and manage their storage environment
in a more convenient and cost-effective way. |
| As a global leader of storage
technology, EMC, however, has to accept the fact of
its poor ranking on China market and consider it as
its top priority in China to surpass its competitors
in the storage market in an all-round way. Therefore
EMC has attached greater importance to and increased
its investment in China market. Through acquisition
and merging and continuing improvements to its product
and service structure, EMC has covered different areas
including systems, software products, services and solutions
and has acquired the ability to provide efficient and
integrated information management services to its customers.
|
| Information lifecycle management
(ILM) strategy, formed based on EMC products and services,
can help companies of all sizes to efficiently manage,
use, protect and share information at the lowest total
cost of ownership (TCO). The enterprises can select
the best solution from the wide array of product and
service choices offered by EMC to bring their ILM strategy
to life, and meet the requirement of the important IT
infrastructure of ILM. |
2. Panel discussion– A Live Dialogue among the Top Asia-Pacific
Executives of Multiple IT Giants
| Top executives of multiple
IT giants like Dell and Cisco will present a live dialogue
at Forum to discuss the development trends of information
management, elaborate their strategies, and answer questions
from the audience. |
| Dell has created a miracle
in PC industry with its “Direct Business Model” and
built itself into an IT giant. This brand-new low-price
direct-sales model, which was for a time something scrambled
for by the industry and has been running successfully
ever since it was launched, has started recently with
some negative impacts upon Dell’s growth and it is generally
agreed by the industry that it’s time for Dell to make
some changes. After all, changes are always out there.
Likewise, Dell has to change as the market changes to
achieve sustainable growth. When an enterprise has grown
to a certain size, how to “grow again” would likely
be the biggest challenge it has to face. |
| Similar to Dell, Cisco
has also experienced a miraculous evolution in the sector
of data storage and became an indispensable driver to
the Internet. Known as the fastest growing company that
ever exists, Cisco only spent 12 years bringing the
total market value of its stock up to 100 billion US
dollars, which was doubled 2 years later. To build a
successful business, you may take after a lot of companies
like Dell and Intel, among which, however, Cisco would
be your best example. |
