IT Process Improvement and ROI:
Strange bedfellows?

Are you:

  • Struggling to find any financial justification for improving IT Service Management?
  • Staring at a big proposal to implement ITIL and just not convinced there is a payback?
  • Being asked to improve customer support and IT provisioning - but without the budget to do so?

Join us for this exclusive executive luncheon to learn how your operation can achieve compelling ROI from IT process improvement. Experts and a panel of your peers will discuss the steps you can take to achieve business service objectives and establish IT as a tool for company innovation and competitive leverage while achieving significant ROI:

The keynote speaker is Alan McLamroc, CTO of CDC Software, a $2B global software company. He and others will show you how to:

  • Quantify efficiency gains of your IT staff through process automation
  • Exceed financial goals through end-to-end service automation
  • Ensure ROI for change management
  • Squeeze value from every dollar spent on IT Service Management consulting
  • Implement an actionable and cost-effective IT Service Catalog
