Are You Still Operating Like a "Cost Center'?

A recent report by AOTMP includes a section on using KPIs to measure the value of various IT and telecom functions as they relate to overall strategic business issues.

How to Get Your IT Budget Approved This Time!

Getting budget approval for a new year is always challenging. Often the C-level managers look at IT/Telecom as just a necessary expense and leave it at that.

Is Your IT Department Drowning in Data (Yet)?

Inventory: Out of Sight, Out of Mind…Out of Your Pocket!

Are you paying for phones, other equipment and services you are using rarely, or not using at all? Do you even know?
