ITPMG

Enterprises have begun to focus on contract and license contracts to ensure that they have flexibility, and resource protection. Financial pressure to deliver flexible contracts, within budget means that the CIO/CFO must consider all options BEFORE undertaking a contract and/or license. CIO/CFOs must minimize risk; enable optimal growth opportunities; and manage time frames, cost, and quality in every contract.
