CIOs Agree on Key Issues; Attenza CIO Roundtable Illuminates Common ThemesDALLAS--April 17, 2002--Attenza, a leading provider of knowledge management software that is delivered as a Web service, today announced it has organized a series of CIO Roundtables to give CIOs a forum to address key business issues involving today's evolving technology landscape. The first of the Attenza CIO Roundtable series was held on March 14th at the new Hart eCenter at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Participants included current and former CIOs from Vignette (Nasdaq:VIGN), Tivoli (an IBM Company), Perot Systems (NYSE:PER), NBCi, i2 (Nasdaq:ITWO), Verio (an NTT Company), and W.R. Hambrecht & Co. The executives covered a wide variety of topics, including the expanding role of the CIO, software standards, 24x7 delivery challenges, business intelligence, next-generation technology trends, software as a service, knowledge management, security, and automation. "Today's CIO is no longer a 'cellar dweller' but a high level decision-maker that is facing many challenges to give his or her company a competitive advantage," said Lawrence Schwartz, CEO of Attenza. "Our goal is to provide an executive forum for today's technology leaders to share ideas, network, and collaborate." Key faculty members of Southern Methodist University also participated in the event, including Dr. Peter Raad, Director of the Hart eCenter. "The CIO's role is going to boil down to knowledge management and how you preserve history and learn how to do new things from old things," said Dr. Raad. "But more importantly, it's about intelligent knowledge management."
