Negotiating Downturns : IT Optimization via Innovative solutions

A number of CIOs, at both large and smaller firms, have told that they are now left much smaller staffs than they had just 18 months ago. However, the demands placed on them have not just remained unchanged it has actually increased. That leaves many looking outside their own firm for help in delivering the type of service and infrastructure needed to compete in this volatile market. Many in the industry believe that cost cutting efforts will result in a jump in the use of global IT sourcing as well as a significant shift in sourcing strategies.

Platform Based Solutions offering a breadth of services will drive the true business value. For high investments innovative solutions, Joint IP model will enable the client and vendor to share risk and reward. Collaborative Delivery Model in a changing Service Delivery Landscape will drive significant cost reduction.

Non linear pricing will be the norm as it gives flexibility to client to pay per use and to vendor to lower the cost.

Innovative solution bundled with synergetic pricing is the need of the hour.

A webinar is being hosted by Infosys along with Waters magazine on this topic on July 2, 2009 where I will present Infosys view on IT optimization and cost reduction strategies. This event is a part of the ongoing Waters Webinar series. The webinar is aimed at the office of the CIO and CTO and is also reached out to Senior Technologists, Strategists, Director's and other key decision makers. The webinar will discuss the challenges of surviving the current downturn via innovative solutions and exactly how these solutions can have an impact.
