And now a word from our sponsors....

I am happy to announce that Microsoft, Oracle and Business Objects/SAP are Platinum Sponsors for the Decision, Information and Governance conference. We are excited to have all three organizations as sponsors. Each vendor provides a technology platform that addresses the three themes of the conference: creating one version of the truth, insights from advanced analytics, and Enterprise 2.0. As part of the conference agenda, Palladium will facilitate a "Future Visions Technology Panel" with all three vendors. The panel of vendor experts will address questions and opportunities associated with technology market consolidation and share their vision for Enterprise 2.0.
