Inside Track:
Organizations are again beginning to increase their investments in Information Technology. However, CIO’s of Fortune 1000 companies are challenged more than ever before to maximize value creation from their technology investments, reduce operational risk from IT, lower the cost of compliance, decrease architectural complexity and optimize their overall technology spend.  Visibility into accurate information about infrastructure, projects and resources at various levels of detail is the key to prioritizing the issues, so they can be addressed in a timely manner to meet the above objectives. Without this clear insight, sub-optimal decisions are made.  Project Portfolio Management, IT Asset Management, Service Delivery Management, IT Operations Management etc. are various categories of solutions that address some of these needs in making IT organization run like a business.
