GMACCM, headquartered in Horsham, Pa., is a premier financial services firm and an industry leader in lending, loan servicing, asset management and investment management. With a focus on financing commercial real estate around the world, the company's servicing portfolio is worth $285 billion. The breadth of the organization makes it critical that all technology -- wired and wireless -- be able to handle the demands placed on it, according to Mr. Benson. "In the financial services sector, IT processes must be closely aligned with business objectives to ensure success," Mr. Benson says. "At the GLOBALCOMM 2006 DataComm Enterprise Conference, we will explore how GMACCM and other organizations continue to build, maintain, and develop wireless technology to deliver on that promise." The DataComm Enterprise Conference at GLOBALCOMM 2006 is a two-day event focusing on the changing landscape of corporate data management. Three major cornerstones -- storage, wireless, and security -- comprise the most pressing issues facing enterprise networks. "We're delighted and honored that Mr. Benson will be sharing his insights with us during this premiere enterprise networking event," said Stephen Saunders, president of Light Reading and senior vice president of CMP Media's Communications Group. "As a key figure at one of the world's leading financial services companies, Mr. Benson has an impressive record of taking technology and mapping it to ever-changing demands and requirements." In addition to Mr. Benson, executives from PBS, SkyWest, Iron Mountain, and Booz Allen Hamilton will discuss new computing platforms, storage networks, wireless convergence management, and internal network security techniques, among a multitude of other issues.
