Attention ITFM Professionals,
Welcome to the fastest growing event specifically designed for YOU!
For the past 30-odd years, IT has transformed almost every aspect of business operations from back-office infrastructure to customer-related transactions, the result of which being unprecedented levels of efficiency and profitability. However, despite IT’s critical role in the evolution of modern business processes, many companies still have little visibility into the true cost and value of IT - making it very difficult for IT leaders to successfully maximize the cost-effectiveness of existing IT investments as well as build a compelling business case for new ones..
Those who attend IQPC’s IT Financial Management Week understand that, as neither the cost nor the strategic importance of technology is expected to diminish anytime soon, the status quo of IT spend management will no longer suffice. The time has come to transform the business of IT and that transformation starts here. The 11th IT Financial Management Week, taking place in Chicago April 25-27, 2016 is the premier gathering for IT finance, finance, and IT leaders looking to: · Achieve Cost Transparency to better identify IT cost drivers and enhance allocation logic · Reduce the Costs of IT Services by eliminating inefficiencies, enabling increased accountability and ensuring that IT investments drive
business objectives · Enhance Decision-Making both within IT and across the enterprise help ensure technology investments align with business objectives
and boost operational performance · Spearhead IT Modernization efforts by leveraging ITFM insights to build a compelling business case and roadmap for IT transformation

Best, · Elizabeth Mixson

IT Finance Boot Camp
Workshop A - Align your IT Plan to Business Priorities
Does your IT budget and forecast process keep you up at night? Every IT leader is challenged to ensure their budget or forecast is aligned with business priorities and is sufficient to create value. Traditional approaches do not provide the level of plan detail Budget Owners need to make effective investment decisions. Guidance is often ignored, errors creep in and business needs are lost in translation, leading CIOs to lose confidence in their plan’s ability to meet business objectives. In this hands-on workshop, participants will test drive Apptio’s IT Planning Foundation product to learn critical techniques, including:
Are you ready to start running IT like a business? Then you won’t want to miss this in-depth, comprehensive IT financial management boot camp designed to equip you with the tools and techniques necessary to build a new ITFM framework from scratch. Learn how to successfully conduct current state analysis, ensure costing data integrity and build a roadmap to achieve the next level of IT finance maturity. Participants will take road-tested approaches to:
· Improving stakeholder visibility into planned resource investments for headcount, vendor contracts and assets
· Responding to changing business priorities by using real-time plan roll-up to quickly adjust IT plans
· Mitigate planning risk with an enterprise-wide, standardized process that emphasizes transparency and communication
Dave Crossgrove, Sr. Director of Product Marketing, Apptio
Workshop B - Develop and Implement Robust IT Service Definitions to Drive Cost-EffectivenessService definitions remain the core and fundamental element when it comes to effective IT cost modeling and IT cost management. Organizations do not invest enough time in creating proper service definitions. Not having effective service definitions creates a whole host of challenges, including making it difficult to ensure that the proper costs are aligned from the General Ledger to IT services, and making it difficult to understand the operational metrics that are related to drive the service consumption, and the relationship between services
across the cost model topography, which in poor service definition are not always clear.Join ProvenIT Finance for this workshop session focused on understanding the fundamentals of service definition, creating effective service definitions, aligning costs and operational metrics to service definitions, and understanding the relationship between services and your total cost model.Craig Hollenbeck, Founding Partner & Principal Consultant, ProvenIT Finance LLC
· Identify and communicate the business benefits that can be achieved by optimizing the ITFM function
· Ensure new ITFM models drive transparency, effective decision making and efficiency

1:30 Tales from the Road to Transparency Panel Discussion: What You Need to Know to Know Before You Implement a New ITFM Tool
It’s no secret that if you’re not careful setting up a new ITFM system can end up being both a lengthy and costly experience. However, there are a number of things you can do before you get started to ensure a seamless implementation. During this candid panel discussion, industry leaders will discuss: · Common mistakes and lessons learned from past implementations · How to make certain you have the right people, processes and
data governance frameworks in place to ensure a successful implementation
Moderated by: Rishi Bhatnagar, Founding President, Analytics & Big Data Society
John Wuest, Assistant Vice President, Lincoln Financial Group Lisa Fox, Vice President - IT Finance and Operations Strategy, Jackson
2:15 Winning on Your Quest for Transparency Creating transparency of IT costs and consumption can frustrate
stakeholders. In many situations, differing levels of acceptance are created when a more accurate method of costing is implemented or allocations are based on consumption for the first time. However, the desire for accuracy and fairness can also drive better data quality, improved accountability and more balanced demand. In this panel discussion, we will discuss this feedback loop whereby transparency, data quality, accuracy and accountability go hand in hand.
Key takeaways include: · Getting core stakeholders on board with a new transparency
program · Measuring and communicating data quality and report accuracy · Identifying those who agree and those who don’t – and addressing
their concerns · Articulating the benefits of transparency for all stakeholders

3:00 IT Financial Management: Changing Perception to Impact Reality
In this session, you’ll learn how to become a strong influencer and drive impactful changes through successful financial management. Sound technology investments is key to the success of a business in a competitive market but quite often the “black box” perception of IT, deters the business from maximizing the benefits of IT. In order to gain trust and forge a true partnership with the business, IT leaders must begin by demystifying IT. One of the first key steps in this journey is building a strong financial management practice that provides transparency and helps effectively communicate the value of IT. Topics discussed will include · Becoming a trusted partner to your business customers · Changing the perception of IT by leveraging disciplined financial
management · Communicate the value of IT in business terms · Adopting a holistic perspective to IT Financial Management · Critical factors in successful financial management. · Understanding and overcoming challenges using practical solutions · Avoiding pitfalls

4:15 Multi-Cloud, Why Bother? Cloud Portfolio Diversification Conundrum Just as a restaurant menu must offer a variety of appetizers and entrées to suit different patrons’ needs — so too organizations must deploy
applications to a variety of cloud environments based on the business unit’s needs, the characteristics of each application and the type of usage. Today, while many market leaders and larger enterprises are already employing a multi/hybrid cloud strategy, a percentage of companies have only
recently and reluctantly begun using public cloud computing – usually with a single cloud provider to start, such as AWS. So the million dollar question; is the future of enterprise cloud a hybrid and multi-cloud environment? Yes! It allows enterprises to leverage the
best pricing models and rapidly innovate, differentiate and grow the enterprise business. However, adopting multiple cloud platforms can create financial management complexities, specifically aligning operational metrics to financial metrics in order to spot inefficiencies, correct and optimize, or even execute cost allocation and chargebacks across the organization.
Join Cloudyn’s co-founder and VP Innovation, Vittaly Tavor, Julius Sinkevicius, former Director Windows Azure Business Development at Microsoft, and Miles Ward, Global Head of Solutions, Google Cloud Platform, for a thought-provoking session. The session will explore a ‘Cloud-First strategy’ and the benefits of adopting a multi-cloud, hybrid environment vs. sourcing from a single cloud service vendor. Experience and examples using solutions for effective financial management of the multi-cloud and field-proven methods for cost allocation among multiple platforms will also be shared.
Key takeaways · The benefits in diversifying the cloud portfolio and deploying an optimal mix of clouds in order to ensure cloud efficiency, performance and cost · Multi-cloud economics implementation with proven solutions for creating accountability and performing accurate cost allocation for true cloud
cost management · Multi-cloud as a methodology for avoiding pricing fluctuations, lack of flexibility and other limiting factors

9:15 Funding Innovation: Run-the-Business vs. Change-the-Business Spending Many enterprises spend more than 70% of their precious IT resources on running the business, leaving little room for innovation and growth.
Compounding this problem, compliance and risk management requirements increasingly crowd out innovation or enhancements in many industries, from financial services to healthcare. In this session, Deborah Strong, CFO of IT for Travelers will share how they measure and report run-the-business (RtB) vs. change-the-business (CtB) spending and track it over time. Learn the steps they’ve taken to drive a reduction in RtB spending, in turn freeing additional dollars and people for delivering the innovation needed by her business. Key takeaways include: · How to define and measure run-the-business vs. change-the-business spending · The importance of measuring run spending as a percent of revenues and other business metrics · Driving better conversations through the lens of TBM · Creating capacity for innovation by proactively managing run costs

CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO TRACKS:
Boost Agility and Improve Cost Control through Data Center Modernization Data center modernization requires organizations to rethink operational and organizational priorities that result from changing economic trends and new technologies. In this session, learn how to embrace a cost-effective and agile approach to DCM by: · Devising a detailed plan and cost-benefit analysis beforehand · Evaluating technologies and vendors using models and tools
such as Magic Quadrants, Critical Capabilities, Hype Cycles and Market Guides
1:45 Changing the Business Conversation about IT To become a more strategic partner with IT, finance organizations
must transcend the controller role and help IT become more transparent to its internal and external stakeholders and deliver business results. Technology Business Management (TBM) is often described as a set of disciplines for changing the conversations about IT. TBM helps IT leaders manage and communicate their total costs – from change-the-business investments to run-the-business expenditures – so the tradeoffs are clear. In this presentation, learn about the initiatives your finance organization can lead with IT to have the right conversations about their IT estate, make decisions to improve efficiency and value, and encourage IT to make decisions to shift investments from run to change the business.
Key takeaways include: · Initiatives that help change the business conversation about IT · Why it’s essential to staff your IT Finance organization so it can
lead new conversations · How to get started on a TBM implementation to achieve business
results · Building a Demand Management framework to assist with
Governance · Why and how to focus on run vs. change · How an IT Expense to Revenue Metric can build trust with the
business David Coleman, Director, Finance, FedEx Services Corp.
Transparency in Healthcare IT: The Journey to Chargeback in Two Different Health SystemsChargeback is often implemented for different reasons. Sometimes, chargeback helps manage business demand by creating accountability for costs and consumption. At other times, it helps an organization shift to a shared services model to improve efficiencies and quality of service at the corporate level. Regardless, the journey to charging back can be fraught with challenges. In this one-of-a-kind presentation, hear from the technology business management leaders of two different healthcare providers who are on that journey. Learn about where they started in driving transparency through reporting, the steps they’re taking to implement consumption-based chargeback, and the obstacles they face and how they’re overcoming them. Key takeaways include: · The reasons for moving from showback only to charging back · The methods used for consumption-based chargeback · The importance of communication and organizational change
management · Barriers to chargeback and approaches for overcoming them

12:00 Support Growth while Driving Accountability with Zero Based Budgeting
Zero Based Budgeting is a deep-reaching cost transformation effort that takes a “blank sheet of paper” approach to resource planning. It differs from traditional budgeting processes by examining all expenses for each new period, not just incremental expenditures in obvious areas. In this session, hear how one organization adopted a zero based approach to their IT budget by: · Reviewing every IT program, both new and existing, for its
function, need, and cost and then match it against top-level strategic goals
· Understanding and justifying each budget line item request so managers are better able to assess requests and can understand the benefits provided by budget expenditures
