Steve Ballmer Plays the Queen Elizabeth Hall

I have seen quite a few concerts, plays etc. at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in the South Bank Centre, but I never thought I would be on that stage, or presenting alongside Steve Ballmer CEO of Microsoft on 1st October.

The event “Technologies to Change your Business” marks the release of SQL Server 2008 and Hyper-V, and is aimed at IT Managers and CxO’s. We will not only be introducing these new server technologies, but more importantly, showcasing customers who are taking these products and using them as the catalyst for significant change in their business.

Chris Ingle the Consulting & Research Director with IDC will also present on how you should be preparing for the next wave of technology and where you can drive increased business value through technology, in areas such as

  • How you should be planning for an online application environment
  • What does “extensive virtualisation” mean for your organisation
  • What are the new strategies for consolidation
  • What are the new Business Intelligence opportunities

Additionally, we will be showcasing some of the future emerging technologies to come from Microsoft Research.
