EXPERT WEBCAST Leveraging vendor relationships to measure and continuously improve post-deployment ROI   View Webcast ABOUT THE WEBCAST: While companies are ultimately responsible for the value of their IT initiatives, the major vendors they work with should play an active role in helping to measure and continuously improve the actual value gained after deployment. Although ROI analyses and case studies have their role early in the sales process, a more comprehensive, structured approach is needed to address ongoing critical business needs. This is especially true in application areas (e.g., CRM, ERP, business process outsourcing) in which there is a significant impact on the business, the long-term vendor/client relationship, or the solution requires a combination of people/process/technology changes. With some vendors proactively addressing this issue, the challenge lies in identifying who they are and how best to leverage them. This webcast will cover: Value of partnering with your vendor to maximize ROI - the "Win/Win" Vendor processes to define, measure, and continuously improve business value Assessing the value maturity of your vendor (e.g., Neglect, Promote, Commit, Demonstrate, Continuously Improve) Overview of the leading-edge vendors Log on today and attend this webcast!
