Current Challenges

• Critical importance is that operational costs are kept as low as possible.

• Increased pressure to be able to deliver results faster and more efficiently.

– Current operational practices often inhibit the speed of delivery.

• Investments made today can not only afford to meet the short term goals, but

must continue to deliver value long into the future

– despite the rapidly changing IT landscape.

Operation Efficiency: Controlling cost

Service Agility: Deliver results faster

Future proof: A long term investment
