A Framework for the Prioritization of IT Funding |
|
|||
|
Speaker: Bill Snyder, Gartner
There are many different ways to deliver IT services, but very few methods that compares alternative ways to IT services back into shape. As well as ROI, organizations need to show best possible return on spending, weighing the least risk with the greatest commercial advantage. This presentation looks at the common fact basis to optimize business cases, project prioritization and even sourcing decisions. Key Issues: * Can you break the zero sum game of ROI business cases based on driving the cost and value out of the IT supply chain to business? * How can you use service pricing and make relevant comparisons for price/ performance and cost/benefit decisions across the portfolio? * How can you prove the best possible spending choices to return to growth as rapidly and safely as possible?

General Session: Why Cloud-based Computing will be More Secure Than What You Have Today |
|
|||
|
Speaker: Neil MacDonald, Gartner
Gartner research shows that security concerns are the number one issues cited by organizations considering Cloud-based computing. In many cases, vague concerns of security are used to as to squelch real discussions on when, where and how cloud-based computing makes sense. Issues such as geo-affinity of content and encryption key management will be solved. Further, cloud-based computing can radically improve how information and computing assets are secured. Key Issues: • How will Cloud computing address traditional issues related to secure and compliance? • How will Cloud computing radically transform security in ways not possible with on-premises security? • How must IT organizations change their mindsets to securely embrace cloud-computing?

In essence, project portfolio management is the bridge between projects and business.
