Join The ITAM Review’s Rich Gibbons and Simon Lytton of Brand Safway for a live webinar on ‘Reduce software support costs and increase business growth and agility’ on Thursday 30th May at 4pm BST.
Synopsis
As an ITAM professional, you are well positioned to take control of support and maintenance spend across your organisation, and deliver real cost savings that can be used to fund digital transformation and other growth projects.
Software from Tier 1 vendors such as Oracle and SAP comprises a large part of an organisation’s annual spend, and a large part of that is support and maintenance. What if you could free up some of that outlay and make it available to support your business goals and objectives?
Hear from Simon Lytton, Global Application Director for a large international services company BrandSafway, about how they manage their Oracle ERP deployments, and how they were able to find a new support model that allowed them to:
- Reduce costs
- Minimise business disruption
- Retain support on legacy platforms
- Reduce the amount of forced upgrades
Learning Objectives
- Discover the savings and benefits possible with 3rd party support
- Learn how saved budget can be re-deployed internally
- Understand how to maintain key vendor relationships
