Rebalance the tech ledger, from debt to value

Get value from each technology investment, using data-driven cost transparency, spend tracking, and fund-allocation insights.

As companies invest in emerging tech to drive reinvention, rapid adoption is leading to a surge in new technical debt. At the same time, there is significant pressure on leaders to meet cost optimization targets. Therefore, it’s essential that leaders grasp the true cost of IT by directly aligning tech investments with business goals and track spend against the initiatives and products enabled by the technology. By doing so, leaders will be able to measure tech value, optimize spend, and clearly communicate the return on investment to the business.

What you can do

Translate spending from the traditional technical components—cloud, data center, third party software to name a few—into outcomes that the business understands and cares about. Use technology business management practices to connect tech investments to business value.

Demand rationalization is simple in concept but difficult in execution, especially when dealing with internal workforce productivity. Seize the chance to identify, quantify, and capture savings from third party spend and investments that generate a low return.

Remediating tech debt can be expensive, and low-value tech transformation is often required to shift IT investment from "run" to "grow." Introduce tools and processes to forge a continuous link between tech investment and achieving target business outcomes.
