KEYNOTE: CONTROLLING YOUR IT ECONOMICS
With the wholesale shift to term and cloud based licensing, traditional approaches to IT procurement are failing, as organizations slowly give more control of their cost structure to strategic suppliers. Our most savvy clients are combating this shift by building and communicating a culture of competition across all business functions to fight misalignment and take back control of their IT economics. This session will set the table for the day, showing real world examples of exploding IT economics and focusing on a tool kit to help deal-makers drive the culture of competition necessary to bend the cost curve back in their favor.
DEAL-MAKER TOOLKITS
Deal-Maker Toolkit sessions will provide a quick supplier briefing including market trends, observations from client cases and execution best practices for the specified supplier. Each session will highlight tools built by the ClearEdge Analytics team and are available to clients through our portal. These tools are designed to help clients start early, drive alignment, and execute competitive deals that will mitigate future risk and achieve stronger ROI.
