  • Are Cloud Managed Services the Right Financial Choice for Your Business?
    Are Cloud Managed Services The Right Financial Choice for Your Business? A Stratecast Executive Brief Sponsored by IBM Are Cloud Managed Services The Right Financial Choice for Your Business? As businesses hurtle into the digital era, technology is no longer the sole domain of the IT organization. Executives and staff from across the business are exerting influence over IT budgets and purchases to ensure they have the tools to do their jobs, thus requiring greater interaction and collaboration between IT and business units than ever before. Nowhere is this strategic collaboration more important than in the relationship between the chief information officer (CIO) and the chief financial officer (CFO). Both roles are evolving in similar ways, from stewards of business assets to strategists and drivers of business goals. The CIO role is undergoing a transition from protecting and managing technology resources to leading the company’s digital strategy. To support the evolution, the CIO’s organization is shifting from a “do-it-yourself” approach to that of a service broker, anticipating and meeting business technology needs from a range of delivery models. Cloud services—including cloud-based managed services from expert providers—are an important part of the new IT model. For its part, the CFO is augmenting its traditional roles as steward of corporate assets and manager of financial operations, with additional roles as business strategist (aligning financial investments with business goals) and catalyst for change (driving business initiatives). With the common goal of ensuring technology investments are optimal for the business, the CFO can be a valuable partner to the CIO in helping to assess options.

Companies are increasingly evaluating what is core to their business and weighing the benefits of turning non-core, but often critical functions such as IT, over to outside partners. The benefits are compelling. Through a managed services model, the process by which companies outsource day-to-day business processes or organizational functions to a third-party that is expert in that particular area, organizations can benefit from greater expertise, lower costs and higher quality, as well as free up management to focus on more strategic endeavors. While the case can be made that outsourcing, at least in the area of IT, is potentially a higher value alternative to internal delivery, its success rate, viewed from the perspective of broad customer satisfaction, has not been equally overwhelming. The absence of good IT governance leading up to the decision to outsource and perpetuating thereafter is often cited as a key reason for failure of the relationship. ROLE OF IT GOVERNANCE AND OUTSOURCING IT governance exists within the context of corporate governance, and the principles are essentially the same.

  • Managed Services: Helping Organizations Focus On
    WHITE PAPER MANAGED SERVICES: HELPING ORGANIZATIONS FOCUS ON BUSINESS A trusted partner can deliver essential technology services that reduce costs and improve performance while reducing the burden on IT staff. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Many enterprise executives understand the power of today’s technologies, yet take advantage of only a small percentage of them. The struggle is real; keeping pace with monitoring, maintaining, upgrading and securing their systems is a day-to-day challenge. A reliable managed services provider helps by providing several valuable benefits: Improved operational performance: Organizations often find that managed services deliver quantifiable gains in common metrics such as system availability, security and responsiveness, yielding improvements that include more stable IT environments and faster diagnosis and resolution of problems. Decreased risk: An outage or security breach may cripple an organization. While network and security engineers may take vacations, call in sick or switch jobs, a managed services provider delivers 24/7 coverage. Reduced expenses: Organizations often get more expertise at a lower cost from a managed services provider than by hiring specialized employees. A managed services provider also offers specialized toolsets, operations automation, administration, and facilities. Faster innovation: A managed services provider frees up in-house IT staff to focus on innovation, allowing the design of state-of-the-art infrastructure and clearing the way for expert staff to deliver these advancements immediately. MANAGED SERVICES CDW.com/ManagedServices | 800.800.4239 2 The Value of Managed Services For many organizations, those challenges add up to Organizations across every industry are discovering how today’s significant expenses: the cost of hiring and training qualified technologies help them achieve their objectives.

The new standard for information security is ISO 27001, the information security management system published in 2005.
