The New Economics of IT in a Virtualized World
The new global economy and increased competitiveness are motivating CIOs to consider more economical and agile ways to deploy and use technology. Virtualization, cloud computing, and other delivery models are changing the economics — indeed, the very value — of IT in the business. While IT’s impact continues to strengthen, such issues as pricing models, management, and even ownership of technology are rapidly evolving and becoming more difficult to define. That’s raising questions for companies about the best models for laying out an effective IT infrastructure – models that include virtualization, software as a service, cloud computing, shared services, and the like. In turn, such intangibles as risk, security, and governance take on greater importance in determining the ultimate value of IT to the organization.
You are invited to participate in and join InformationWeek and Smart Enterprise magazine for an informative discussion of these issues. This Smart Enterprise Exchange - held exclusively for the benefit of CIOs and Senior IT Executives from enterprise-level organizations - will examine how the IT department, by working in tandem with the business, can continue to prove its value to demanding customers, both internally and externally.
Topics to be discussed:
- How new IT delivery models, like virtualization, cloud computing, SaaS, and others are changing the role of the CIO and the IT workforce in creating business value
- What the right delivery models are for your business or vertical and how these processes can change your competitive advantage
- Best practices for redeploying IT resources to innovation and business-growth opportunities
- Metrics for determining the real cost — and the real value — of IT moving forward so all stakeholders can understand the new economics of IT
- Asset-management processes and best practices that maximize value and efficiency
Please join us and our distinguished guests for this timely discussion. Seating is limited, so please sign up today.
