The most successful and secure organizations aren’t those that spend the most, but the ones who spend wisely on their IT budget. Spending your IT budget properly is critical to your company’s success and your data’s security.
As a CIO creating an IT budget, it’s important to acknowledge that every major decision regarding technology and investments has the potential to impact costs. Proactively planning your IT budget can help provide an accurate picture of your existing technology needs and identify which investments will fulfill them while delivering the greatest ROI.
In fact, designing an effective IT budget can even optimize your technology strategy while revealing opportunities for reducing costs long-term. For example, what may have been the most cost-effective solution a year ago may no longer deliver the same cost-saving benefits, or even be necessary at all! It’s an understatement to say that 2020 has been an eventful year—so as technology continues to evolve and reshape industries globally, it’s important to revamp your 2021 IT budget to meet the needs of a changing world.
