IT leaders are being asked to more strongly support initiatives such as digital business but with little or no increase to their budgets.

This quandary can be resolved if “keeping the lights on” or “run” costs can be significantly reduced so that more funds can be shifted toward initiatives to grow and transform the enterprise.

Given that about 55% of the IT budget is comprised of infrastructure and operations (I&O) expenses – and about 80% of I&O costs are “run” – your focus should be on reducing what is spent on I&O.

Discussion Topics:

• How you should analyze I&O costs to identify and prioritize cost reduction opportunities
• What Gartner sees as the “big hits” to further reduce I&O costs
• How much can likely be saved and how much more can then be spent on, for example, digital business

Cost optimization takes on new dimensions in the age of digital business.

For many organizations – particularly those in natural-resources-based economies and geographies – economic uncertainty and the pressing need to invest in digital technologies has put IT leaders in a challenging spot.

Join Kurt Potter (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) as he discusses:

• How to identify the best opportunities for IT cost optimization
• How to improve IT cost transparency to support cost optimization
• How to employ radical cost optimization strategies to respond to unforeseen economic or industry conditions

An impending economic slowdown has many enterprises challenged with new approaches to cost optimization, whether it is in the business or in preparation for digital business transformation.

• The good news for CIOs and IT leaders is that this time there is a warning, compared to the global economic crisis of 2008.
• The bad news is that many of the tried-and-true optimization tactics will not deliver enough benefits to meet new goals for enterprises and IT organizations that are already lean.

Optimization now will mean more than just contributing to profitability goals of the enterprise – with digital business disruption looming on the horizon, cost optimization will have to be the funding source for many digital investments, while also being a stress test for digital business success.
