Nucleus Research - IT budgeting: Perception and reality

Lack of accurate data on IT portfolios – such as applications, their interdependencies, and their links to business performance and risk – can drive unnecessary costs, drain productivity, and increase risk. In its recent survey of financial decision makers, Nucleus found that 44 percent of companies still rely on ad-hoc tactical information gathering when measuring IT-business alignment, meaning one in 10 companies has to wait at least a month to get precise information on the impact of a budget change on IT. When it comes to forecasting, 39 percent of companies believe their IT forecasts are only half right.Tags: PDF,Analyst Reports, it accurate data, application dependencyRead Article

Winning the pentathlon: Managing Integrated IT Portfolios

Today’s CIOs have to be top performers in multiple disciplines: just like a pentathlete who has to master different disciplines, so the CIO has to manage a diverse IT landscape, lead change and control budgets. What makes the CIO’s challenge even greater is that he or she must perform each discipline at the same time, whereas the pentathlete approaches each discipline separately. The good news is that unlike the pentathlete the CIO is not alone but is supported by a team of people. And their collaboration is key to success: if all do some of the work, it makes the task much easier.Tags: PDF,Fact Sheet, CIO CFI IT application it landscapeRead Article
