There is good news and bad news for IT and finance leaders when it comes to technology spend.
The good news is that many IT leaders are transforming their organizations to support hybrid workforces by design rather than remote workforces by necessity.
The bad news is that many of those same leaders are under instructions from the top to cut costs.
If that sounds contradictory, it is. But, then again, it isn’t.
Technology spending is no longer the preserve of IT departments. Lines of business are increasingly self-selecting and self-funding the technologies they feel they need to be productive and innovative. On the whole, what used to be labeled "shadow IT" is now simply "technology spending."
This guide will outline three key steps you can take to gain control of software spend by applying the right approaches to cost management: cost cutting, cost optimization, and value optimization. Trust us: They’re not the same thing!
