Why ROI/TCO is Required - Now More than Ever!
The economic downturn has IT executives scrambling to defend budgets,
avoid cutbacks, and help the business survive.
What
you need to do as a solution provider NOW to thrive in this new environment.
In times of crisis, CFOs invariably turn up the heat on CIOs, and although IT spending is a modest 3.1% of revenue on average, because IT is seen within most organizations as a cost center, it is usually at the top of the list for spending cuts.
The IT budget holders will invariably turn to solution providers to
demand greater discounts, slash unnecessary projects and proposals, as well
as seeking guidance on the best cost savings / fastest payback projects.

This Paper shows how those
vendors that recognize the changing IT spending environment and proactively
put in place cost savings programs for customers and tools to prove the ROI
and payback will have a clear sales effectiveness advantage.
