Flat Budgets, Strategic Priorities and Cloud Computing:
How IT Financial Management Helps Optimize Infrastructure Investments

Three forces are converging to create a perfect storm for Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) leaders: relatively flat IT budgets, growing pressure on I&O to free up resources for strategic business priorities, and cloud computing as an alternative delivery model.

There is good news. These pressures provide a catalyst to better understand your cost structures for services such as business applications, messaging, telecommunications, storage, networking, desktops and more. Cloud computing helps expose the true cost of service delivery by providing readily-available market rates, while IT benchmarking enables meaningful comparisons with others in your industry.

Join Eveline Oehrlich, Senior Analyst from Forrester Research, as she discusses how successful I&O leaders are employing IT financial management practices to understand and optimize their infrastructure spending.

In this informative webinar, Evelyn will address:

• The effect of cloud computing on I&O budgets and spending
• The importance and challenges of understanding the true total cost of providing services
• The areas of I&O spending with the greatest opportunity to optimize spending
• The benefits – and caveats – of chargeback and showback efforts

Furthermore, hear how Deborah Gash, CIO of St. Luke's Health System, cut spending by 8% from the previous year by employing IT financial management best practices.
