ITL's members
Members as of March 2025
A Community for High-tech Manufacturing and Engineering Companies
The Information Technology Leadership (ITL), is a community of CIOs and other IT leads serving at high-tech manufacturing and engineering companies. The group provides safe environment for Information Technology executives to exchange ideas and information on pressing, non-proprietary IT issues impacting their business.
Mission:
To leverage the collective experiences of the group to enhance knowledge-sharing and learning experiences and promote continuous growth.
Vision:
ITL provides a platform for members to gain valuable insights, address common challenges, and accelerate progress toward key objectives.
Value Proposition:
The ITL community offers collaborative non-proprietary knowledge sharing, best practices, investment and vendor decisions, thus enabling members to gain valuable insight, address common challenges, and accelerate progress toward their objectives, saving organizations both time and resources.
With increasing reliance on automation and threats from cyber-crimes, this group provides access to key industry contacts and information to stay current on latest trends in IT.
ITL Member Value
SEMI's IT Leadership group offers differentiated value for member executives and subject matter expertise in:
Participants share operational, financial and organizational information at levels of detail deemed as “actionable” and that answer “C” level questions regarding peer companies.
All attendees participate in every event by describing in detail their latest IT project successes or failures. Information on vendors, consultants and support service providers is shared.
Discussions are targeted at the topics that our heads of IT are grappling with today with the intent that everyone leaves each event with a number of “nuggets” that they can take back to deploy or use to solve current issues.
- Semiautonomous communities
- Use case driven workshops
We have found significant value in our membership in the SEMI ITL Community at a variety of levels. The CIO strategic engagements have been insightful and have provided visibility into the similarities and differences between IT strategies across participating companies. But perhaps the most important engagements have been based on the more tactical side of Architecture, Cybersecurity, and IT service delivery. Collaboration with members has allowed us to align our Cybersecurity strategy and techniques to what our peers consider best in class. Above all, the most impactful aspect of this group is the ability to discuss IT technology and strategy with peer companies in the SEMI industry who are unbiased voices. This is abundantly more valuable as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing than relying solely on data from organizations not grounded in our industry. – Abhijeet Bhandare, Entegris.
Current ITL Programs
The ITL is designed to help meet challenges facing industry through:
By rotation, members host a 2-day forum twice yearly at their headquarters where participating CIOs meet to work through the issues that are confronting them today. Unlike other similarly named events, our CIO Forum focuses on topics in the Strategic space closest to Operations so the information shared is immediately applicable to solving real-time concerns.
Participants in these valuable benchmarks provide detailed information regarding their operational budgets, processes and staffing, in-depth applications, landscape maps, and strategic plans. Data is shared in an NDA protected environment.
Subject matter experts within the IT domain, such as the InfoSec and Applications groups, meet face-to-face or via video conference to tackle specific issues brought forth by the CIOs and share invaluable use-cases on current innovations. Background benchmarks are conducted prior to each event providing attendees with insights into each other’s needs and expectations.
Each quarter, members are invited to join a number of educational web conferences, single topic surveys, and small networking sessions on subjects such as, applications upgrades, project planning, risk assessment and category spend.
