By
Andrew Wigodsky, Technical Consultant, Hewlett-Packard Services Consulting and Integration.

Description
The model presented in this manual for the IT professional helps managers work with tech workers and their customers to make a clear and well-substantiated argument for IT service investments. In order to validate and fully explain this model, Wigodsky presents an overview of the "why" behind technology investment for any organization, and combines this with detailed real-world solutions that maximize BCO efficiency. By eliminating the "futz factor" commonly associated with system ownership costs, the book provides a glimpse of the next generation IT architecture, a repeatable process for identifying organization-wide system costs, and a customizable model for integrating BCO management with your people, processes, and technology.

Audience
Project and Technical Managers, Network and Systems Architects, Information Technology Executives, Directors, and Managers. Also Graduate and undergraduate business and information management students, and Sales and marketing professionals selling IT solutions
