The Gartner Symposium
For IT Management, the Gartner Symposium is a big deal. This years focus will be no exception. In fact, because of current national events, it may be a bigger deal than years past. To highlight a few of the intended topics:
- Cost Cutting, with about 16 topics for a “lean” IT organization
- Process Improvements and Productivity
- Economic downturns can be a benefit. They will have a topic dedicated to being Innovative during rough financial times
- Customer Service and Retention
- Risk and Change Management. This is certainly a time of increase changes!
For Enterprise Portfolio Management software companies, this symposium is the “mothership.” Gartner is the owner and creater of the Magic Quadrant. If you work for a IT software company, you are certainly familiar with this quadrant. It is an important tool to review application support and usage prior to purchasing and maintaining. For more information on this event, go to the Gartner Symposium website.
In a future discussion, PM Majik will do a full scale review of its own, for these Magic Quadrant participants. More important than Gartners technical assessment, may be the assessment of the users.

Surely Corporate Governance is going to be a major issue? With the amount of money that’s been destroyed with the Wall St meltdown, investors are very likely to want to insure that remaining companies aren’t about to collapse.
