How RISCy is your business? Contain IT Costs and Enable Future Growth December 14, 2004 @12 p.m. Eastern/9 a.m. Pacific Duration: 60 minutes Register http://ct.eletters.eseminarslive.com/rd/cts?d=187-505-1-483-524892-9307-0-0-0-1 Are the Unix/RISC systems in your data center offering value sufficient to cover their high cost? That doesn't have to be the case. In this eSeminar we will evaluate the Cost, Value and Risk (CVR) of Windows/Intel versus Unix/RISC. "I.T. Doesn't Matter" ? Harvard Business Review "Has Technology Lost Its 'Special' Status?" ? The New York Times "The Industry Has Entered Its Post-Technology Period" ? IBM Is this true? What does the data tell us? * Studies show that I.T. organizations spend an average of 70% of their budget running and maintaining current systems, leaving only 30% for development and deployment of new capabilities. * The studies show that the same I.T. groups want to get to the point where they can spend 45% of their budget on new capabilities. This would be a 50% increase of spend on new capabilities. * 10 years ago, 70% of the average I.T. budget went for hardware expenses. Today that is down to 17% but now 50% of our budgets go to people costs. And in general, budgets haven't decreased. * Albert Einstein defined insanity this way: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Are we in that state today by the way we make decisions in I.T.? What is the risk of continuing to do things the way we have been? Can we find new or different ways to doing things that will reduce operational cost, speed our delivery of new capabilities to the business and return greater value to a company, as a whole? This is our challenge. Jerry Murphy, Senior Vice-President & Services Director, Infrastructure Strategies, Meta Group will offer a unique perspective on key trends impacting your IT environment and insights into building a more adaptive and less RISC infrastructure to support your business. And this eSeminar will address RISC platforms, how they contribute to the cost, value, risk equation of IT today as well as the Unisys and Microsoft solutions and options for taking some of the cost and RISC out of your business.
