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

Business processes are complicated, and mapping them is not a trivial task.

Modelling standards give us the tools to model complex processes, but they do not tell us the best way to approach a model or effectively use the tool.

In this hour-long webinar, Rod Fage (LinkedIn profile) will explore the best way to develop a model, from determining the goal and scope of the process and measuring its effectiveness, to modelling the process in a hierarchical top-down approach, enabling business analyst to continuously validate the model.

The goal is to have a model that is:

• Complete
• Consistent
• Understandable by business and IT
• Structurally consistent

You’ll learn how to:

• Define the scope and goals of a process.
• Define the stakeholders of a process.
• Create an overview of modelling that elaborates from a high-level model into detailed process sub-models.
• Follow best practice guidelines of modelling.
