-- Global leader in third-party maintenance services educates CIOs on how to support their bimodal operation

DENVER, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinnaker Support, a global market leader for SAP, JD Edwards, and Siebel third-party maintenance, application/technical management services, and consulting, today announced that it will be one of the sponsors of the Gartner CIO Leadership Forum 2014.  Senior executives from Spinnaker Support will join over 500 CIOs and sponsoring companies like Dell and Bosch.

Taking place at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, the Gartner CIO Leadership Forum has a theme of "Digital Reality: Meeting the Challenge.  Leading the Change." A recent worldwide survey of more than 2,300 CIOs revealed that many of them are unprepared for digitalization.  With these results in mind, Gartner research analysts and executive partners participating in this annual event will help the attendees focus on the most critical digital opportunities on which CIOs should act.  The leadership forum will also educate CIOs on the best way to handle the need for bimodal IT operations (the ability to operate in two modes of IT) – being conventional in practice, while simultaneously being fast and agile. 

Spinnaker Support will be on hand to discuss how CIOs can free up capital and resources invested in their core enterprise software to fund new and emerging technology.  Through alternative maintenance and support services, organizations are able to reallocate at least 50 percent of their current maintenance spending to these innovative projects.  Representatives will also present strategies for employing application management and technical management services that allow for the redeployment of existing internal IT subject matter experts for additional strategic initiatives.  Spinnaker Support encourages attendees to stop by to learn more about the savings that can be realized.
