New White Paper Outlines Seven Strategies to Focus on in 2008 and Beyond
Dallas—April 3, 2008— CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading IT outsourcing company, today announced the availability of a specially prepared white paper designed to help corporate IT departments avoid the impact of what economic analysts are calling a slowdown at best, and recession at worst. The paper, entitled “Seven IT Strategies to Help Survive the Downturn”, is available as a free download at: http://www.compucom.com/company/whitepaper/register.aspx.
As a pre-emptive step to growing economic concerns, the publication clearly identifies seven specific steps to help Chief Information Officers (CIOs) as well as IT and business professionals get more done with less, while maintaining quality, productivity, and security, and while preserving longer-term strategic IT initiatives, so critical to future success.
“The cyclical nature of our economy has made the reality of slowdowns and downturns part of the business landscape,” said John McKenna, Chief Strategy and Services Officer at CompuCom and author of the newly published white paper. “IT services are so deeply integrated in business operations today, CIOs as well as IT and business leaders can not only use a slowdown as an opportunity to drive greater value, squeeze extra costs out of processes, and add to the bottom line, but also protect the future performance of the IT infrastructure. The CIO is no longer just ‘the person who runs IT.’ They have incredible business responsibilities and are now looked to for guidance in tough economic times,” added McKenna.
CompuCom has taken a very aggressive role in arming corporate IT groups with specialized solutions in this tightening economy. In addition to this white paper, the company is also partnering with industry leaders, including Forrester Research, Aberdeen Research and other experts, to conduct a series of highly selective Webinars focusing on the topics of productivity, efficiency and quality during difficult economic cycles.
CompuCom will be conducting the next Webinar on April 22, 1:00 CDT - Achieving Service Excellence thru Quality Initiatives. Participants include - Aberdeen Research Senior Vice President of Technology Research, Ralph Rodriguez along with Thomas Vetterani, Vice President of Market Quality and Offering Development at CompuCom, to discuss solutions and frameworks for delivering value across the organization while providing cost advantages and most of all, quality. Attendees will hear how to leverage best practices in IT Service Management (ITSM), ITIL and ISO 20000 to eliminate siloed processes, duplication of efforts and inefficiencies to lower costs while enhancing service quality. http://info.compucom.com/content/April22WebcastRegistrationwithSpeakers
