Driven by the desire to help the business run more efficiently with top-notch IT systems but not break the bank with top-tier costs, these authors offer tips for effectively prioritizing spending, exploring cost-saving solutions, and reorganizing the IT infrastructure for optimal execution. From leveraging the latest technology innovations to streamlining business processes to choosing which expenses to reduce, these authors outline how to make a tangible impact on cost-cutting efforts by doing more with less. This book provides valuable insight for those looking to right-size the IT department by defining the roles of managers and employees in controlling IT costs and focusing on where pennies should and should not be pinched. Highlighting the importance of saving energy and striving towards corporate sustainability, these authors also demonstrate how going green can help conserve funds as well as the planet s resources. The different niches presented and the breadth of perspectives represented enable readers to get inside some of the leading cost-conscious technology minds of today, as these insiders offer up their thoughts around the keys to fashioning a financial plan sound enough to make it through the recession and beyond. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future.
