A Prudent Approach for SAP Leaders to Conserve Cash

A Prudent Approach for SAP Leaders to Conserve Cash

Even within normal circumstances, IT faces constant pressure to maintain performance, deliver new projects and drive innovation within a limited budget. However, in today’s times of economic downturn with a long and hard recovery being predicted, conserving cash takes on a criticality like never before. Mandatory IT budget cuts are and soon will be prevalent across the board. IT leaders must follow a structured approach to identify, evaluate and deliver cost-saving measures that still can deliver performance and needed innovation.

In this webinar, Deepa Salem, Senior Product Marketing Director from Rimini Street, discuss some key insights from Gartner on how CIOs should respond to the mandatory IT budget cuts and how they can conserve cash while maintaining performance. This includes ideas on how to prioritize and roadmap major IT projects, as well as control IT operating expenses such as support and maintenance costs. We also hear from Eric Robinson, General Manager of SAP Services at Rimini Street and former CIO of Color Spot Nurseries, on his lessons learnt on responding to mandatory IT budget cuts.
