Managing IT cost effectively 2011, half day seminar
Date: 9th March, 2011
Location: Arundel House, London
Introduction:
The economic events of the past 24 months have revealed that for many organisations, the way in which IT projects are financed and ongoing IT costs are managed is woefully inadequate.
Charged with drastically reducing their expenditure, many IT departments found themselves unable to find out precisely what that expenditure is, let alone make the necessary cuts in time.
Addressing this inadequacy is arguably the most pressing challenge facing IT organisations. Unless they can develop sustainable, scalable and efficient models IT financing and cost control, the value of an internal IT operation will continue to be questioned.
Information Age’s Managing IT Cost Effectively seminar, now in its second year, addresses this challenge head on. Experts and practitioners will discuss themes including:
