Making the Case to Management
Abstract:
Making the budget case for technology is not a new exercise for many Museum CIOs and IT directors, but faced with shrinking budgets and growing demands for service many feel they are being ignored or at a minimum not being understood in the budget discussions at their organizations. Productivity and cost savings from technology projects have always been hard to develop ROI models for, but the case needs to be made. This panel will explore several practical ways to explain and measure the value of Information technology improvements including:
• Metrics, Measurement and ROI
• Explaining the value of hardware and software upgrades
• Savings via server virtualization and cloud computing or shared services
• The economics of adding storage and managing content
