Recently I posted on our website an article on IT Cost Transparency. Achieving IT Cost Visibility: Today’s Challenges and Solutions

Created by Greg Carr (Technology Cost Insight) on February 8, 2010

Historically, IT spending has been viewed—fairly or unfairly—as little more than a cost of doing business. Productivity and even profitability gains accrue from IT, to be sure. But because no comprehensive, credible system has been in place to accurately capture and analyze IT costs against the IT services they provide, I believe it’s difficult for CIOs and their staffs to uncover the insights that support wise decision-making aligned with business goals. I am curious to know how you feel about the importance of having IT financial information at your fingertips. Please read the article and get back to me with your input.
