Discover how to derive greater business value from your company’s IT and achieve greater business impact in this webinar with Dr. Ulrich Kalex, Vice President of alfabet, and featured independent research analyst, Bobby Cameron, Vice President and Principal Analyst of Forrester Research.
So you've cut costs. Now what?
By now most CIOs have executed their emergency cost reduction measures and have plans in place for further savings in the immediate future. Currently, they’re setting their sights on life after the economic crisis and are eager to prepare their organization for acceleration out of the downturn. But they also realize that now more than ever, business and finance management will be challenging IT to prove the value and sustainability of its actions and investments.
Business Capabilities are an approach to viewing and assessing the enterprise based on business activities – independent of specific existing workflows and organizational silos. Capabilities provide a simple basis for a common view of the business and its supporting IT so that a meaningful dialog can be initiated that will move all involved parties – IT, Business and Finance – towards a common understanding of what needs to be done to advance the enterprise in a cost-efficient manner.
Business Capabilities help IT to:
- find flex points in the business model for adjusting vendor support in volatile times
- focus IT investment on capabilities critical to business success
- save on operating costs by tuning SLAs to real business requirements
- articulate strategic intentions and objectives in an action-oriented context
This webinar will provide practical advice on identifying and mapping business capabilities, defining which capabilities are critical to business success, how to collaboratively assess the enterprise’s performance of the capability, and how to transform the IT landscape to deliver maximum value to the business.
