Company Name Sponsorship Description
Ernst & Young

Gold Strategic Sponsor

Information technology is one of the key enablers for modern organizations to compete. It gives the opportunity to get closer, more focused and faster in responding to customers, and can redefine both the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. But as opportunity grows, so does risk. Effective information technology risk management helps you to improve the competitive advantage of your information technology operations, to make these operations more cost efficient and to manage down the risks related to running your systems. Our 6,000 information technology risk professionals draw on extensive personal experience to give you fresh perspectives and open, objective advice - wherever you are in the world. We work with you to develop an integrated, holistic approach to your information technology risk or to deal with a specific risk and security issue. And because we understand that, to achieve your potential, you need a tailored service as much as consistent methodologies, we work to give you the benefit of our broad sector experience, our deep subject matter knowledge and the latest insights from our work worldwide. It's how Ernst & Young makes a difference.
