PremierCIOForum
Thank you and Welcome to the

Attendees across the region have come to expect a dynamic agenda with relevant, up-to-the-minute
topics and exciting speakers who will share their wealth of knowledge and experience, helping you gain

Our partner, The Society for Information Management (SIM), is an organization intended for Senior

group’s mission is to provide an open forum, devoid of sales and marketing solicitations, for area
executives with IT decision-making responsibility to network and share their experiences. The Premier
CIO Forum adheres to all guidelines which prohibit solicitation by anyone, except for the requested
solution providers who have been hand-picked by the Executive Advisory Council of CIOs and Senior IT
Executives specific to this region.
We have worked diligently to put together a stimulating and focused agenda, bringing together experts,
visionaries and professionals from the IT industry. We look forward to sharing this exciting conference
with you.

OPENING KEYNOTE: THE DATA PROBLEM IN 1960 AND TODAY
Carolina Ballroom C
Presented by: Jon Bachman, VP Product Management, SimpliVity
Jon
Bachman
SPONSORED BY:
Discussion: 50 years ago, enterprises were facing their first data problems –
manufacturing facilities lacked the resources to adjust technology plans in real-time
and they needed to become more agile and efficient. This lead to Charles (Charlie)
Bachman’s invention of the first direct access database management system, where
information and plans were kept in an integrated data store.
Today, the data problem has evolved, data virtualization technology is essential for
enterprises to maintain marketshare and keep up with competitors. CIOs need the best
of both worlds – x86 cloud economics and enterprise-grade functionalities – to support
an agile and face-paced workforce.
Join Jon Bachman, SimpliVity’s VP of Product Management, as he discusses the
history of database management, starting with his father’s invention in 1960, and how
to evolve your data center to keep up with today’s growing demands.

Discussion: As IT professionals we sometimes lose sight of the fact our jobs don’t exist
unless we have any opportunity to apply technology to solve business problems. Which
business problems to solve though? Trying to align IT with the business quite often can be
frustrating – like shooting a slingshot at a passing racecar. How do we get ourselves “in
relative motion with the target” to make it easier to hit? Join this session to hear from a panel
of your peers on how they integrate into the business versus attempting to align with it.

Joe
Topinka
Discussion: We’ve heard about business and IT alignment for years -- and the
competitive and time sensitive landscape that is at the core of IT. “IT needs to align with
the business.” “IT isn’t providing what we need, so we have to go elsewhere.” “We need
it right now!” Sound familiar? This session will cover how we’re seeing organizations
overcome some of these challenges, bridging the gap between business units and
evolving IT into a manageable business portfolio that allows the organization to make
more informed decisions based on value and risk.
DAVIDSON BASKETBALL: BY THE NUMBERS
Session 2
Presented by: Tim Chartier, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Mathematics, Davidson College
Discussion: What really counts in sports, specifically Davidson College men’s
basketball? Numbers are inherent in sports from tracking the score of a game to logging
a player’s performance. In the 1990’s, Moneyball, as it has become known, revolutionized
Tim
Chartier, PhD. baseball. In the fall of 2013, Dr. Tim Chartier of the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science at Davidson College began analyzing, along with 4 Davidson College
students, data for the men’s basketball team. What statistics help and which ones might
be misleading? How does sports analytics prepare college students for other areas of
analytics? Come see Davidson men’s basketball - by the numbers.

LUNCHEON KEYNOTE: TAKE A REALITY CHECK: ARE YOU DOING
ENOUGH TO BRIDGE THE LEADERSHIP CHASM?
Presented by: Joe Topinka, CIO, SnapAV
Joe
Topinka
Discussion: Joe Topinka has talked the talk and walked the walk. In short, among his
many accomplishments, he has mentored numerous current IT leaders, written a book
on how to execute true IT business partnerships, eaten his own cooking, delivered
measureable results that exceed his competitor’s metrics and received numerous
compliments from his peers locally and nationally for his vision, passion, and execution.
Shouldn’t Joe be satisfied with these achievements and comforted by a legacy of IT
leadership?
Many would answer Yes. But for Joe the answer is unfortunately no, not yet anyway.
The reason: In Joe’s post-publishing discussions with many IT leaders he has found
that the delta between what many leaders ‘think’ they are executing and what they really
‘are’ doing when it comes to executing the best practices of the IT Business Partnership
model is staggering and discouraging. And third party statistics back up these anecdotal
observations. Frankly, the true courage to change is still very much the exception vs. the
rule. It’s simply not good enough to be intellectually aware of the academically correct
way to do things yet find yourself too overwhelmed to actually perform the assessing,
planning, and executing to achieve the benefits and to raise the relevance and results of
our beloved profession.
In this session Joe challenges leaders on both sides of the chasm.

SECURITY PRESSURES – WHAT’S ON THE HORIZON
Carolina Ballroom A
Presented by: Michael Cerick, VP of Global Managed Security Solutions, Trustwave
Discussion: The pressures facing today’s information security professional are enough
to fluster even the most composed data defender. Just how extensive are they? The 2015
Security Pressures Report from Trustwave, based on a survey of more than 1,000 info
security practitioners, helps document and quantify the greatest sources of pressure you
confront on a daily basis. Packed with meaningful stats and actionable recommendations,
this second-annual report will lend context and insight to the most pressing challenges
you face.
Presented as part of the Charlotte Electronic Crimes Task Force (ECTF) in cooperation
with the Charlotte branch of the United States Secret Service.

Panelists:
Marvin Reem, CIO, Bob Jones University
Ben Hall, Director of Technology/CISO, Extended Stay America
Marvin
Reem
Ben
Hall
Discussion: The objective of a Data Governance culture in an organization has
been driven by these objectives: The right data, in the right fields, in an accessible
delivery process to the right people at the right time. Successful Data Governance
relies on the combination of people skills and motivation, process and technology.
This panel discussion will leverage the experiences from panelists in discussing how
organizations have initiated, grown and sustained the momentum of Data Governance
in view of the multitude of changes that challenge essential “controls” with “agility”,
“speed”, “adaptability” and consumer usefulness in the era when the social media and
unstructured data drive businesses beyond traditional application and database controls.
The facilitator and panelist will share experiences regarding the interaction of Data
Governance with business architecture, compliance reporting, privacy requirements,
operational processes and the technology tools for creating and monitoring data and
information as valuable business and customer assets.

Presented by: Larry Snodgrass, Survivor & Spokesperson for US Airways Flight 1549
(Hudson River, January 2009)
Dicussion: Larry Snodgrass is a survivor and spokesperson for US Airways flight
number 1549 that crashed in the Hudson River in New York City on January 15, 2009
– the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Life now takes on a special meaning for Larry and his
newly enlarged family of 154 new members since that flight. He has a compelling story
to tell about his experience that day and the impact it had on his life. He will talk about
the importance of cherishing things like family and beliefs that are truly important,
leadership and humility, asking for help, the importance of planning and having a backup
plan, overcoming crises and challenges, and saying “Thank You.” Larry has received
rave reviews from numerous speaking engagements, most recently at the District 7820
Rotary Conference in Nova Scotia in May 2014 and the Rotary International District 1090
Conference in the UK in March 2014.

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT: ACCELERATE INTO THE FAST LANE
Mecklenburg 3
Presented by: Christopher McMillan, Management Analyst, City of Fayetteville, NC
Christopher
McMillan
Discussion: If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t
understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it. In addition,
how do you judge if you are using the proper measures, and how do you really know what
success looks like?
The solution is threefold:
• Interrogate your stakeholders to determine what matters to them
• Develop metrics to measure what matters
• Use this data to manage the business and improve processes
IT must take a leadership role in enabling the business to be able to perform these
measurements, both by putting systems in place to capture, analyze and report data and
by executing this process with its own customers to provide a model for the rest of the
business. In addition, benchmarking must be performed to determine how competitive IT
and the overall business truly are.
How do we know if our organizations are operating as efficiently and effectively as
possible? How do we identify and prioritize process improvement opportunities? How do
we compare operationally to our peers and competitors? Performance measurement can
provide the answers. Data is coming at organizations in larger volumes, at higher velocities,
and from more sources than ever before. This data can be an enabler or a disrupter of
operations so it must be managed properly. The City of Fayetteville has embarked upon
a journey to implement a robust performance measurement system that will enable it to
transform from a middle-of-the-pack operation to a high performing organization. This
presentation outlines the steps taken so far on that journey with tips for success and
stumbling blocks to avoid.
