Keynote: Global Transformation of the Enterprise Supported by ERP Sponsored by Compuware The journey through a business transformation supported by an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation changes companies in fundamental ways forever. While in the middle of the fray, no function has to transform itself more than information technology (IT). Jackson will discuss how Rockwell Automation drives its business processes to be global and integrated. We’ll take a further look at how the transformation of the business changes the I.T. organization and the issues created as I.T. leaders take their teams through this journey. Key Points: • What new skills are needed and which skills are no longer needed? How does the role of the IT organization and its interaction with the business change? • What options exist for the individual professional to grow in to new roles, and how can you maintain staffing for those critical functions that will suddenly be eliminated at some point in the project? • How do you deal with many challenges to keeping your employees engaged and focused as they see their futures dramatically changing?
