IDC Summit 2024 | IDC | 13 May 2024 | Hotel Passage, Lidická 23, 602 00 Brno-střed, Czechia

Where once IT cost management was a competitive advantage, it is now table stakes. If IT leaders are not effective at managing operational costs, they risk falling behind in their ability to support business strategy and drive digital transformation. As an IT leader, one of the most important responsibilities is to manage costs and maximize the efficiency of the organization’s IT operations. Cost-saving measures not only benefit an organization’s bottom line, but also pave the way for investment in innovative technology solutions that drive growth. Many IT leaders are challenged by the need to demonstrate value to the business and validate their budgets.
