ETIS Community Gathering 2011
For the past 20 years, ETIS has been at the forefront of the telecoms industry sharing knowledge and best practices on the innovative use of IT in Telecoms with the major European Telcos. To celebrate this landmark anniversary, ETIS is pleased to announce that the next ETIS Community Gathering will be hosted in Cyprus on 13/14 October 2011 at the Intercontinental Aphrodite Hills Resort. The theme for the Gathering will be ‘ETIS 20th Anniversary – Innovative use of IT in Telcos’. The Gathering will also be held in conjunction with the 42nd Management Board hosted by CYTA on 12 October 2011.
The keynote presentation will be made by Roberto Saracco, Director of the Telecom Italia Future Centre on: ’Looking back, looking ahead: Telecommunications & IT, a success story’. The talk will present the main events that have led to the marriage of Telecommunications and Information Technology during the past 20 years. This will serve as a stepping stone for the next 20 years where telecommunications will be embedded in the environment and IT will be part of many objects, creating an intelligent, aware and responsive environment. The morning session will also showcase presentations on our members’ success stories in using IT to improve business performance and operations as well as enable innovative new business models and change the way people work together.
The remainder of day 1 and all of day 2 will be dedicated to the following ETIS Working Groups: Information Security, Enterprise Architecture, Procurement & Vendor Management, Business Intelligence & Data Warehouse, Billing, Customer Self Service and the CIO Executive Forum. There will also be a special Gala dinner at the end of day 1 to celebrate ETIS’ 20th Anniversary as an organization.
