SIM in the Suburbs Dinner

Please join SIM and Bob Kress of Accenture on October 11 for an informative program titled, “IT the Way It Should Be: Running IT Like a Business”.

Bob Kress was previously COO for Accenture’s internal IT organization which supports 250,000 employees in 52 countries. Mr. Kress has published two books, Running IT like a Business, in November 2011, and IT Governance to Drive High Performance: Lessons from Accenture, in March 2010.

Overview
Organizations from every sector of industry and government are faced with the challenge of demonstrating an ROI on IT spend. Accenture, a global consulting, technology and outsourcing company, is no exception.

Ten years ago, the company embarked on an IT transformation journey which has delivered an exceptional ROI: for every dollar invested in IT, Accenture achieved $3.50 in savings. In his presentation, Bob Kress, who helped lead the transformation, will highlight how Accenture achieved these results.

Bob will explore topics such as developing an IT strategy, creating strong IT governance, instituting a managed services approach, managing operations and measuring performance.

The presentation will provide real-life examples to illustrate the value the IT function can deliver, and offer strategies that can be applied at every stage of the IT journey.

You are guaranteed to leave with at least one good idea for your team and receive a delicious Maggiano's dinner to boot! Act now and register for this outstanding event.
