About The Program
Gartner® estimates that $100 billion will be wasted over the next three years by putting money into the wrong network technologies.

In today’s fast-paced, information-rich business environment, even a successful organization can get caught up in managing technology instead of using technology to help manage business. Taking full advantage of technology advances will ensure your manufacturing company is in a better position to compete profitably in the future.

This one-hour presentation will cover what steps your organization can take to develop a sound plan that key stakeholders have confidence in — a strategy that aligns people, processes and technology. Featuring proven return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) metrics, this webcast promises to educate and prompt action.

Attendees will hear how to:

Objectively examine your current use of technology
Integrate IT process with the organization’s business strategy
Identify areas in which advanced technology solutions, such as unified communications, storage and virtualization, may increase the effectiveness and efficiency of your operations
Create a plan that identifies immediate and future technology investments and calculates the total cost of ownership and return on investment of each

This webcast is perfect for those manufacturers and wholesale distributors that are looking to minimize technology costs – and boost ROI.
