IBM: From Cost Cutting to Value Creation: Optimizing Technology Spend to Fund Strategic Growth

Organizations are under unprecedented pressure to justify budgets, reallocate resources, and demonstrate the value of every technology dollar. But without clear visibility into consumption, duplicative spend, or service costs, leaders struggle to align Technology  investments with business goals.

We’ll dive into modern Technology Financial Management practices to show you how to surface optimization opportunities, strengthen accountability, and shift run the business spend into innovation. Learn how to communicate tech value in business terms, better support transformation initiatives, and ensure Technology resources deliver measurable impact.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Align spend with strategic priorities to shift more budget toward innovation and growth.
• Communicate the value of Technology to executives through clear, data focused insights.
• On top we will share how IBM achieved cost savings and value through transparency:* Cost optimization through a transparent, single source of the truth.* Performance Management and infusing an accountability culture

  * Drive value by embracing Finops, TBM and EBM practices and consistent and transparent ways to align spending, with performance to improve outcomes and deliver value
