Technology Executive Dinner | Vancouver

Modernizing Technology for Greater Efficiency and Impact
Thursday, September 24th | 6:00 PM PT
 

Legacy systems don't just slow you down—they quietly drain budgets, stall innovation, and box out the next generation of technology investment. Few executives understand this tension better than Brian Stewart, Chief Information Officer at Simon Fraser University.

With over 30 years of managerial experience—20 at the executive level, spanning both commercial and post-secondary sectors—Brian has built his career on a simple premise: technology should reduce cost and complexity, not add to it. His session, "Modernizing Technology for Greater Efficiency and Impact," tackles the hard trade-offs every technology leader faces today.

In this session, Brian will cover:

• Identifying where legacy processes, systems, and operating models create unnecessary cost and complexity
• Balancing operational efficiency with the need to innovate and modernize
• Using cloud, data, and automation to improve service delivery and organizational agility
