Beat the SlowDown: CIO Strategies

Slowdown is on our minds and on the minds of all the CIOs and IT Managers. So what can we do to beat the slowdown, to the extent that our IT excels and helps us justify the TCO while adding value to the organization by increasing ROI in real terms?

The 3 simple ways are:
1. Use Offshore Support and Customization for your IT/Apps
2. Use Sourcing Advisory services for effective and value driven outsourcing.
3. Go GREEN with IT

Success Stories: Benefits companies have managed to get using a well defined Sourcing Advisory Process:

- A 200+ store multi-brand retailer achieved a saving of over 40% of the estimated outsourcing costs through well placed processes.
- A global electrical energy industry leader saved over 30% of costs quoted by their incumbent vendor while getting additional value added services.
- One of the largest privately owned departmental store business in the USA saved over 40% from vendor quoted costs by well defined processes.

Not sure how and where to start. Contact me to discuss how your IT Costs can reduce substantially and IT can become a value add to your organization's fight to the global meltdown.
