In the current financial climate, there is increasing pressure to:

* Redirect, defer or reduce planned capital expenditure on IT infrastructure
* Improve existing asset utilisation
* Optimise transformation programmes
* Freeze or redeploy headcount

...all whilst remaining highly efficient and operationally effective!

It is clear that times are tight and budgets are shrinking. In today's unstable economic environment it's not about driving the top line - top of the agenda is driving out unnecessary costs. But how do you know where those costs are, where do you start and whose responsibility is it?

According to a survey released by Goldman Sachs this September, ROI is the name of the game. It was found that C-Level executives are buying on a need vs. want basis, are often downsizing deals to fit with current budget constraints, and are searching for solutions with high and fast ROI.

Furthermore, in June this year IDG wrote: 'IT decisions should be less about technology and more about the business capabilities that the technology makes possible. Therefore, IT proposals should be measured like other business ideas - for their potential to bring speed, efficiency and innovation. ROI offers a strong way to represent those ideas'.

This series of Executive breakfast briefings highlights the key business issues to be addressed:

* How can you make informed decisions about discretionary spend and identify essential projects?
* What factors will guarantee approval?
* Where do you spend your money? Future risks versus today's control issues?
* Can you defer spend by increasing your asset utilisation?
* How to achieve more with less? Can you achieve savings by being lean and then Green?

To share in this knowledge and debate the issues, book your place now.
