Creating IT Solutions in Leasing Conference

April 19-21, 2006
Chicago Marriott Oakbrook

To convert or not to convert?  That is the question many lessors and asset finance providers are asking themselves these days, as they evaluate their business technology platforms. Is it worth the significant commitment in time and money to migrate to one of the new accounting applications available, or does it make more sense to continue with the legacy systems?

This dilemma will be explored in-depth at The Alta Group’s “Creating IT Solutions in Leasing” conference at the Chicago Marriott Oakbrook, April 19-21, 2006.  Persons interested in attending the event can register by calling 801-322-4499.

Why You Should Attend

How do I know if my organization requires new leasing applications?  How long do I invest in my legacy systems?  The answers depend on your ability to manage the company’s business processes.  See what is really different with the new applications, what third parties are doing to help manage business processes, how to mine value from existing applications, and how to avoid inefficient use of your applications, both new and old.

This advanced application summit is for senior personnel.   Actual lease transactions and business requirements will drive the demonstrations – no infomercials here!  An open review of applications and how they interact with others will help you determine the migration path to new functionality.  An invitation-only policy for presenters and software providers will minimize distractions from outside third parties.

Who Should Attend

The sessions are designed for senior personnel with responsibility for implementing, managing, and maximizing the value of company information systems and processes.  This would include COOs, CFOs, CIOs, IT managers, portfolio/equipment managers, conversion specialists, auditors, and quality teams.

Who are the speakers?

Conference presenters represent experts from all aspects of the leasing industry, with hundreds of years experience in these topics.  Come listen to speakers who have successfully made over 40 conversions, successfully met compliance requirements, and helped lessors account for and track tens of billions of dollars of equipment leases.
