Customers’ needs are constantly changing, and to meet them a business needs to keep evolving as well. A successful transformation isn’t a one-off event – it’s an ongoing process of improvement, reinvention and innovation.
The role of CIOs and other senior IT leaders is evolving too. They’re no longer just the technology leader in an organisation – they’re an agent of change. To reimagine what’s possible, they need to understand how new technologies like AI, cloud, cybersecurity and IoT can help create and capture markets, produce efficiencies and drive innovation.
That’s why IBM is presenting the “State of Perpetual Evolution” at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2018. We’ll be showcasing the capabilities of IBM Cloud, Security, Watson and Blockchain, and be demonstrating how they can power your digital transformation and ongoing reinvention.

The Next Evolution in Cyber Security: Changing the way People Think
Wednesday, 31 October, 2018 / 12:30 PM – 12:50 PM
Technologies like cloud, mobile and social computing offer convenient and ubiquitous access to information. But they also blur the lines between professional and personal identities, which can increase risk. This highlights the need for safe computing practices and the exercise of good judgment.
Join me at the ITxpo Stage to understand why bringing innovation into the organisation also means engaging people in a way that increases trust and security.
Progress is impossible without change. Bring us your toughest challenges and let’s solve tomorrow together.
