Measuraement Frameworks – A Better Way than Cutting IT Costs to the Bone!
Everything I read about IT these days seems to have a direct correlation to ROI, Cost Reduction or Dramatic Productivity Improvement. This is a sign of the times and is forcing us to make choices in both our personal lives and in our business lives. The choice between keeping the lights on and continuing to drink $5 coffees, although seemingly simple, is just another painful decision for many of us. I am so thankful for my pro home cappuccino maker.
Seriously, at a time when the global business environment is the most competitive ever, when IT capabilities to deliver real value have never been higher; many organizations find themselves trapped in survival mode with the only tool left in the kit being a knife to cut costs. We are advocating a better approach, by using IT Measurement Frameworks we help you identify the real fat, (opportunities) and turn it into opportunity. In fact recent successes using this approach have provided a 3-10 times ROI, just what the CFO wants to hear.
