iRise Joins as a Sponsor of The CIO 100 Symposium & Awards
Annual CIO Magazine Leadership Conference to Honor Top 100 CIOs and Their Practices
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. –— August 8, 2005 — iRise®, the world's leading application definition software and services company, today announced it is a sponsor of the annual CIO 100 Symposium and Awards taking place August 21-23, 2005 at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, California. This year's CIO 100 awards salutes the "Bold 100": organizations willing to assume the risk associated with championing new ideas and practice new ways of looking at their business and industry. The symposium will focus particularly on innovation in the use of information technology to increase organizations' ability to compete with new products and services, to heighten customer satisfaction, and to continuously adapt processes to enable innovation throughout the business.
“"It is clear that today's CIO's must find a way to step out from behind the back office and use software to innovate with the business- from enhancing internal processes to creating competitive advantage," stated Mitch Bishop, chief marketing officer at iRise. "Application simulation from iRise is bringing business and IT organizations together in a truly unique and intuitive way — driving growth, cutting costs and giving everyone a common language with which to innovate. We are pleased to be sponsoring the CIO 100 Symposium and have the opportunity to discuss these industry challenges with key decision makers and thought leaders."
As part of the conference activities, iRise will sponsor "Visualize to Win", a cocktail and networking reception on Monday evening, August 22, from 7:00-9:00pm. At the reception, iRise will host a multi-media immersion into the high-speed world of sports car racing complete with a Rolex GrandAm Daytona prototype car, racing telemetry experts, racing simulation games and the opportunity to meet the winners of the 24 Hours of LeMans and the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.
“"I am pleased to welcome iRise as a sponsor of the 2005 CIO 100 Symposium & Awards," says Michael Friedenberg, president and CEO of CXO Media Inc, the parent company of CIO magazine. "For the past seven years, leading technology companies like iRise, have benefited from the exposure to the technology decision makers who attend the CIO 100 Symposium. I would like to thank iRise for their support of the conference and of CIO magazine."
