Changing market, economic, and working conditions create new challenges: opportunities to rethink IT planning and budgeting

As companies head into the 2H of a tumultuous 2020, IT leaders are rethinking their priorities. Changing market, economic, and working conditions create new challenges, but also opportunities to rethink IT planning and budgeting. Rebecca Wettemann from Valoir will share how successful leaders are rethinking vendor, business customer, and IT relationships moving forward, how they’re recasting their digital transformation plans for new realities, and how strategies such as cloud and third-party support are part of an overall strategy that takes a balanced view of risks and opportunities.

On August 19th this invitation only webcast interview engages an audience of New England based CIOs, VPs of IT, Directors of IT and other IT strategists.

The global pandemic has forced global business leaders to rapidly pivot to remote work styles, and to ensure their infrastructure can withstand the massive surge in Internet activity.
