Overview: Survival in today's highly challenging economic environment requires constant vigilance by IT managers and line-of-business executives alike to deliver cost-effective services to customers and end users. Recent economic events have driven home the importance of improving IT efficiency by controlling IT costs and at the same time delivering competitive business services with high service quality. In short, IT organizations have to sustain service quality and health while improving operational efficiency and reducing service costs.
