CHARLESTON, S.C., May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software solutions, today announced that Chief Technology Officer Don Taylor will join other CIOs and senior IT executives as a featured panelist at the 2014 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. This premier event on May 21 will provide CIOs with high-level insight from leading academic research combined with the counsel of successful business leaders on how to lead their digital enterprises forward. Along with other senior executives and academicians, Taylor will participate in the panel titled "Big Data, Analytics, and Insights," taking place from 1:30-2:30 p.m. ET.
As the global trend towards digitization accelerates, organizations are looking to reinvent their digital enterprises: businesses need more than just new technologies; a whole cultural transformation is needed. Strong leadership will facilitate that process of identifying and implementing compelling new technologies as well as overcoming organizational obstacles.
"The CIO is ideally placed to lead the technical and cultural shifts necessary to bring their digital enterprises forward," said Lindsey Anderson, Chair of the 2014 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium. "However, being ideally placed is no guarantee of future success. To meet this challenge, our speakers will provide attendees with actionable insight on how to embrace the organizational and technical changes needed as they guide their organizations in the months and years ahead."
Now in its 11th year, the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is a world-class, one-day conference, held on the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA. Over 700 CIOs, senior IT executives and MIT academic thought leaders will network, collaborate and explore how innovative technologies and leading-edge research can help address the digital transformation.
"I am thrilled to be participating in this event," remarked Benefitfocus CTO Don Taylor. "As a leader in the benefits technology space, we focus on iterative design to deliver a user experience that allows our clients to leverage the data we collect on their behalf. Participating in this panel and attending the Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to meet thought leaders and discuss how big data and analytics are changing the design and engineering of software across all industries."
Taylor recently spoke at the Benefitfocus conference, One Place. 2014. in Charleston, SC. He was joined by Benefitfocus executives and guests as the company announced exciting new enhancements to its Platform.
