Does your technology budget feel like a financial black hole?
Do you feel like there's nonstop pressure to spend more and more on IT and Business Technology?
Do you feel like you're just adding layer after layer of complexity in the hope that IT will suddenly get simpler and easier?
Do you feel all your business needs are being met by your supporting IT?
Do you feel overwhelmed at the myriad of infrastructure and software choices that are available, all claiming to be the golden egg, the silver bullet, the magic beans, the holy water to fix all ills, only to be disappointed again and again as you watch your money and your staff's energy drain away in disappointment and frustration when it doesn't work out?
In my 30+ years as an IT consultant with a finance background, I always lead with budget. The reason I always lead with budget is because I have found with startling frequency that most firms have a fair and appropriate budget for their IT operations but are allocating those dollars incorrectly. This is typically because the IT infrastructure has grown organically, a piece added here and there as needs change with no master plan, put together based on advice from different vendor "experts" over the years who were not collaborating with you but selling to you. Over time this creates a complex Rube Goldberg technology stack that makes absolutely no sense anymore when analyzed objectively.
