Video: 60-Second Pitch - Secure services
Episode 2: One minute to impress three leading CIOs

By silicon.com

Published: Wednesday 23 July 2008

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 get the chance to ask some questions before deciding whether the idea passes muster by giving it a green or red light.

In this episode, Scott Nursten, Managing Director s2s, presents to former group CIO of Deutsche Bank Mitchel Lenson; former executive director operations for The Post Office Ric Francis; and David Supple, head of IT for Ecotec Research & Consulting.
