Optimize Costs and Improve Business Alignment
Despite concerns about market variability, worldwide IT spend is expected to grow by 8% this year. However, technology investments are not a free-for-all, and organizations must still continuously optimize run-the-business costs while driving innovation to meet customer and stakeholder needs. In this track, you will discover how to extract greater insights from operational and financial data and unlock the black box of technology spend and consumption. For some organizations, achieving cost transparency is a huge milestone, while for others, getting to complete showback is a game changer. Sessions will also illustrate how to drive greater collaboration, thereby improving decisions and helping deliver greater value from your technology investments.
