“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”

Traditional IT, long the object of ridicule, has finally reached its "escape velocity" and is emerging from the data center to fundamentally shape business and our lives in multiple ways. Today, growing computing power, combined with falling costs, is driving technology's own ubiquity. In his visionary keynote address, Whitehurst will describe the profound mega-trends he believes have been unleashed as a result of the prevalence of computing and communications, and explain how these mega-trends help drive new dynamics that have contributed to an explosion of innovation, radical new business models and fundamental shifts in governance.
