According to naseba's industry research, the new year bodes well for the CIO who was asked to squeeze a further 20 percent of his budget last year due to the impact of the economic downturn. Now, however, the reins are loosening and it's time for creative and business-focused IT leaders to take the stage and show they understand their organisation's strategic goals. New opportunities are on the horizon as companies re-evaluate spending parameters and are prepared to accept change.

The 5th Annual CIO Strategies Forum India takes into account such market dynamics and will also look at the impact of the cloud computing storm that is set take us all, server virtualization, IT regulations, the changing role of the CIO, cyber-security, green technologies, social media and enterprise technologies.
