Four tracks to transform processes and drive business outcomes

A Financial Management: Cutting IT Costs and Growing Digital Business

• Negotiating software maintenance and support contracts

• Peer networking on negotiating SaaS and cloud contracts and software terms and conditions

D IT Vendor Management: Raising the Bar on Vendor Efficiency and Effectiveness
