EXTOL announced today it will present, 'Building IT Credibility with Senior Management,' in a webcast, on Thursday, July 26 at 2:00 PM EST. EXTOL ( http://www.extol.com ) is a leading provider of B2B integration software applications for both internal and external collaboration.
The topic of building IT credibility has recently received much coverage in industry media, in response to the trend of companies of all sizes to expect IT to actively participate in achieving company business goals and objectives. Today, IT professionals at every level are expected to be conversant with the issues and goals of their company's business objectives, and be able to relate the value technology can bring, to business and revenue goals.
"IT is not the isolated service unit it once was," explains Stephen Rosen, EXTOL Vice President, Marketing. "Now IT is expected to work intimately with line-of-business managers, and make technology decisions that will enable various departments to meet their business objectives. This is a new approach and a new way of thinking for most IT people. And it's throwing them out of their Comfort Zone."
The webcast will discuss 'The Four Cornerstones of IT Credibility' - the four key areas in which the IT organization supports and interacts with the business organization. The way in which IT operates within these four areas determines the success of IT as a whole, as well as the success of individual staff members and managers.
Other issues that will be addressed during the webcast include:
How to link IT technology to business objectives
How to measure the business value of IT
The ultra high costs of Business As Usual
Business Integration frameworks that deliver results
Where IT agility and business objectives meet
Visibility Of Data - the foundation of the IT / line-of-business relationship
