The Economic Impact of Support - What's Your Value Proposition?

In this presentation, MetricNet reveals the industry’s first ever benchmarking data on the economic value of IT service and support. The corresponding whitepaper is available here. Most IT departments can tell you how much they spend on support. But very few can quantify the economic impact of support. The result is that many support groups are on the defensive when it comes to budgeting and spending, and often struggle just to get the funding needed to deliver adequate levels of support. In recent years a handful of pioneering organizations have adopted a different strategy when it comes to support – a strategy that emphasizes value over cost – and they routinely deliver benefits far in excess of their costs. Support groups that understand and quantify their value propositions gain a number of important advantages; chief among them is the ability to obtain funding and other resources based on the economic benefits of support. Viewers will learn:

• How to Develop a Simple Value Proposition for IT Support
• How to Transition from Cost Center to Value Center in Support
• Cost/Benefit and Other KPI’s to Measure the Economic Impact of Support
• Creating a Value-Centric Culture in IT Support
