Thursday June 17 at FCCJ:

1) Case Studies and Approaches for Implementing Customer Analytics.



This presentation takes a look at the different approaches large enterprises
have taken to implementing Analytical CRM programs with varied degrees of
success and difficulties. The strongest results are achieved when
operational & analytical CRM capabilities are defined and implemented in an
integrated manner and guided by a disciplined roadmap and business case.

2) Extending the Life of Legacy Systems

Many companies have made huge investments in their legacy systems in the
past 30 years. The functionality in these systems has evolved over time and
can't easily be replaced with a big bang new system implementation. As new
technologies emerge and mature, these in fact are being leveraged to provide
solutions that can be layered on top of legacy systems. This presentation
will cover the primary options that companies have to prolong the life of
existing systems and avoid or defer the costs of replacing them.
