Many midmarket CIOs are stuck in a cost-cutting cycle driven by simple expense-line trimming not tied to business outcomes.

They struggle to fully exploit the use of information technology throughout the enterprise.

A new holistic approach to IT optimization is needed that balances cost-efficiency with opportunities to enhance business value.

Discussion Topics:

• The common obstacles that SMBs face when undertaking IT cost optimization, and how to overcome them
• The best practices that are enabling SMBs to move beyond tactical cost-cutting
• The latest–and often surprising–ways that SMBs are optimizing IT costs and value
