IT Procurement Working Group meetings are held twice per year.
Typical Agenda:
Wednesday (A.M.) Hot Topic Presentations
Wednesday (P.M.) Roundtable (ALL)
Wednesday (Evening) Networking Dinner
Thursday (A.M.) ITPWG business discussions, Roundtable (ALL), & Wrap Up
Hot Topic Presentations are topics selected by the group that represent current areas of interest. In the past we have hosted speakers on topics such as Green IT, Virtualization, Telecommunications Sourcing, Software Licensing, & Contract Best Practices, and Software as a Service (SaaS). We have also hosted speakers from suppliers such as Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM.
The Roundtable provides participants with an opportunity to present items for discussion to the group. This may include sharing of current projects, questions on sourcing best practices, negotiation strategies, etc.
