Speaker: Phil Pavitt
Location: Westbourne 3, Level -1
Session Type: Keynote - EMEA

Phil Pavitt was appointed as Group CIO for Transport for London (TfL) in early 2007 and in less than 24 months he and his team have made significant cost improvements. A pragmatic and self-funded investment strategy was required to address the organization’s infrastructure, which had legacy issues relating to the assimilation of 13 individual companies into one. Phil will explain how, by integrating systems, rationalising datacentres, reducing TfL’s software estate, applying due diligence to vendor agreements and reviewing outsourcing arrangements, he has implemented TfL’s second largest cost savings project, and is due to hit cost-savings of £55 million in 2009/10.
