Green IT Infrastructure 2008 is the industry forum in which CIOs, CTOs, and senior IT managers at leading investment and commercial banks, asset management firms, hedge funds and other financial institutions can share ideas on meeting the complex challenges involving the cost-efficient and environmentally friendly use of financial-information technology. Escalating energy prices, coupled with increased demands placed on grids and data centers, have made managing growing capacity while minimizing costs a formidable challenge for many financial IT managers. Green IT Infrastructure 2008 has been specifically designed to address these issues, allowing delegates to hear first hand from financial-services firms’ top information-technology executives who have taken the lead in streamlining their financial-technology operations.

Specifically, the event will examine how leading financial firms are leveraging financial information technology to develop and provide new products and services to clients, improve efficiency, streamline-business processes, reduce operating costs and improve customer service. Green IT Infrastructure 2008 is set to build on the success of prior waters’ conferences, by addressing issues that are of the foremost concern to technology managers who are faced with budget cuts, cost increases and increasing demands from investment managers.
