TBAN Luncheon - Apr 16
Records Management: Changing the Face of Technology
Thomas Utiger, CEO, Data Empowerment Group
Records Management…Isn’t that a bunch of folks locked away in the basement playing with paper and boxes?
Maybe a few years ago that answer would have sufficed, but with the major changes in business environment, records management now has a major impact on organizations and especially on the technology that is currently deployed or will be deployed in the future. Ignoring the requirements of records management has cost many firms many millions of dollars and will continue to cause pain and loss of money at companies that chose to ignore the changing world of compliance. This presentation will review the major elements of records management and their impacts on various technology platforms that companies have chosen to deploy.

TBAN’s March Luncheon - “Targeted Marketing” in a Down Economy - Mar 19
Join us for a Presentation
by Mike Schmitt, CEO and Founder of Clairvoyix
Las Vegas-based Software Company Clairvoyix
Explains the relevance of “Targeted Marketing” in a Down Economy
During tough economic times consumer marketers, especially those who promote niche products, are faced with a smaller pool of consumers.
Additionally the Internet has truly empowered the consumer with instant access to price and product information thereby putting increased pressure on marketers to differentiate their products and services. This presentation will focus on the latest targeted marketing techniques that marketers are using to capitalize on the opportunities presented by our current economic climate. Segmentation and clustering, personalization, consumer data enhancement, mobile marketing, and other related topics will be presented.
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 from 11:30 am – 1:20 pm

About the Speaker:
Since becoming Dean in 1993, Dean Sandgren has overseen the expansion of various programs within the College, including a revitalization of the Construction Management Program, has overseen the successful implementation of the new School of Informatics — the combination of business acumen with computer science disciplines, approved by the Regents in 2006, which focuses on four specific cognates: Business Analysis, Cybersecurity, Hospitality/Entertainment, and Health Informatics, and has spearheaded two additional initiatives of special interest to TBAN membership:
Entertainment Engineering & Design, a new undergraduate major in the College, addresses the challenges of combining cutting edge engineering with the creative presentation that characterizes so many of the theater shows, especially those produced by Cirque du Soleil.
The Mendenhall Innovation Program includes a minor in Technology Innovation and Commercialization that introduced engineering students to the elements of concept development and productization, including intellectual property concerns, market need and acceptance, and rapid prototyping, resulting in the continued improvement of the capstone senior design projects.
