NEW YORK, May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziff Davis Enterprise, a leader in innovative enterprise and channel IT engagement solutions, has developed the ROI Leadership Council, a panel of top technology marketing professionals who will collaborate on a range of solutions for today's IT marketing challenges.
With recruitment well underway and participants comprised of leading marketers from companies such as IBM, Microsoft, VMware and Salesforce.com, the ROI Leadership Council will work with Ziff Davis Enterprise executives to gain insight into issues and opportunities facing the industry. By creating a holistic collaborative panel of marketing thought leaders, Ziff Davis Enterprise will facilitate an ongoing dialog that supports business objectives and the industry as a whole.
