“The Burton Group Catalyst Conference has always been the place for IT professionals to go for practical knowledge and advice,” said Burton Group president and research chair Jamie Lewis. “Given the ‘new normal’ last year’s economic crisis created, obtaining a pragmatic view on how IT should align with business priorities is more important than ever. While it appears the recovery is underway, uncertainty persists and it’s unlikely that IT budgets will return to pre-crisis levels in 2010. The Catalyst agenda focuses on what IT professionals need to know in order to make the right IT decisions, plan effectively, spend efficiently and execute.”
