The Need for IT Cost Transparency

Corporate IT spend is one of the largest budget line items in companies today. In 2007 alone IT organizations worldwide spent over $3.1 Trillion. At the same time many of these IT organizations are unable to articulate where that spend is going, how it correlates to the services they are delivering, and what value the business is realizing from those services. To gain visibility into costs, make better decisions about IT investments, and more effectively communicate the value of these investments to the business, IT needs to bring IT Cost Transparency to their organization. IT leaders who bring about this change can usher in a new era of strategic IT management—and true partnership with the business.
