CIOs' time is a precious commodity. Suppliers who pitch their technology to them have to get it right first time - or get shown the door.

silicon.com's 60-Second Pitch replicates this experience just for fun - but turns the screw a little tighter. Suppliers have just one minute to pitch their product or service to a panel of current and former heads of IT, who will then ask some supplementary questions for clarification and say whether they think the idea passes muster by giving a green or red light.

In this debut episode, Philip Grannum, director of product management Cable & Wireless, presents to former group CIO of Deutche Bank Mitchel Lenson, interim CIO at Amtrak Phil Young and David Supple, head of IT for Ecotec Research & Consulting.
