Now more than every before, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming an important tool to support company innovation and performance improvement as their role in organizations becomes increasingly pervasive and strategic.
A deep, critical knowledge of ICTs and more importantly, of their impact on business, can help lead companies towards most effectively exploiting these technologies in order to maximize obtainable benefits. The ICT & Management Observatories were formed with precisely this objective in mind: to help spread the awareness of the importance of ICTs in business.
In particular, the Observatories address managers and decision makers of ICT user companies in order to offer – through specific research, case studies, benchmarks, event videos, convention notes, etc. – in-depth information regarding the concrete opportunities offered by the most innovative solutions, with the ultimate goal of helping companies to make the most knowledgeable and effective decisions possible when it comes to ICTs.
The Observatories are directed to all those companies that offer ICT services and solutions (software and hardware vendors, service providers, consultants, channel operators), and provide a detailed picture of the different Italian market scenarios, with the objective of supporting companies in setting up the most effective offers.
Through their research, conventions, workshops, videos and case studies, the Observatories represent an effective training channel for companies, keeping them up to date and raising their awareness of the hottest and most innovative topics concerning digital technologies today.
The Observatories’ international focus includes:
- Collaboration with several foreign Business Schools (Anderson School of Management – University of California LA, London Business School, Universidade de Sao Paulo – Brasil, Comenius, University of Bratislava, Czech Technical University, Warsaw University, etc.)
- Several foreign analyses (e.g. on Brazil, China, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey, Russia, etc.)
