IT professionals are under increasing pressure to support the strategic objectives of their organizations and yet are challenged to do so in light of growing IT complexity and decreasing resources. Twenty thousand organizations are currently using Microsoft's Optimization model to advance along the continuum from Basic to Dynamic IT infrastructure.
The benefits are well-documented.
IDC conducted a study with over 200 IT departments in the fall of 2006, benchmarking IT costs, service levels, and "agility"- defined as how long it takes to deploy a new application or capability. This study found that higher levels of IT maturity resulted in dramatic savings in IT labor and notable improvements in service levels and application deployment speed.
This session will explain further how to leverage this process and apply its findings towards aligning your information technology environment to meet the expectations of our executive leadership.
