Midmarket CIOs & IT leaders continue to optimize IT costs,
But how effectively?

Too often, cost optimization activities happen myopically when a cost-reduction target is handed down.

The IT leadership team scrambles to put together ideas to meet the cost reduction target. Best-in-class midsize enterprises don’t have access to better ideas.

They focus on cost optimization as an ongoing discipline, ensuring focus, visibility and accountability; and setting targets, utilizing cost optimization and decision frameworks to get the most value from their cost optimization efforts.

Discussion Topics:

• How best-in-class IT organizations effectively optimize costs
• How to utilize the Gartner Four Levels of Cost Optimization framework to set targets and manage optimization efforts
• How Gartner decision frameworks can be used to evaluate and communicate cost optimization initiatives

Presenter: Jim McGittigan, (LinkedIn profile) Research Director
