Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

ADVISORY...for Sunday-Tuesday (Feb. 23-25)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forrester Research (NASDAQ:FORR)

WHAT:   Forrester Research Technology Leadership Forum, "Organic IT:
        The Next Computing Revolution"

        Today's infrastructure is expensive, not scalable, and fails
        to meet IT and business demands -- with IT battling for
        control and business users fighting to make technology work
        for them. Akin to the client/server shift predicted by
        Forrester 15 years ago, key technology trends have already
        begun to create a new corporate technology revolution
        Forrester calls "Organic IT." Unlike the rip-and-replace
        nature of client/server, Organic IT will enable firms to
        squeeze 50% more value from sunk technology investments inside
        their datacenter over the next five to 10 years while
        satisfying both IT and business camps through a more
        efficient, flexible, and responsive computing infrastructure.

        Key Takeaways:

        This two-day Forum will demonstrate how Organic IT will help
        firms achieve higher infrastructure utilization within their
        datacenter, dramatically increase labor efficiency, and gain
        greater technology responsiveness to business needs. Business
        and technology strategists will learn:

        --  Why Organic IT represents the biggest architectural
            overhaul since client/server and how it will impact future
            investments in software, storage, servers, and networks.
        --  How Organic IT will address the needs of both IT and
            business executives, improving infrastructure performance
            while dramatically lowering costs.
        --  How to prepare for the Organic IT revolution, which
            emerging technologies will shape it, and which vendors
            will survive.
