In this struggling economy, businesses large and small are forced to find ways to reduce costs wherever possible, including taking a tough look at their technology department.

Cutting discretionary costs from your budget is fairly simple but, for any business wanting to stay ahead of the competition, hardware, software and maintenance costs cannot be considered "discretionary costs." The best option for most businesses is to analyze their IT environment for cost reduction opportunities that can free up expense and capital dollars that can be reinvested into the growth of the company.

In this eSeminar participants will learn how to reduce hardware and software costs by:

• Gaining back your leverage with suppliers
• Becoming proactive versus reactive about Hardware Maintenance Sourcing
• Strategies for working with aggregator resellers
• Performing a spend assessment for cost optimization
• Structuring your team to maximize sourcing success
• Expediting software sourcing initiatives
• Avoiding sourcing pitfalls that may negatively impact your organization

Who Should Attend

• This seminar will provide important information for CIOs, CFOs, CPOs, Sourcing Executives, VM Executives, and Global Business Services Executives.
