Changing Priorities
    When mandated with reducing cost, how do you

    evaluate where to cut?
    Those that are easiest to cut?

    Even if they expose you to more risk in the short-term?

    How do you “align with the business” when the

    business is constantly changing its mind?


    Wishful thinking or really the way it is

    In an increasingly risky environment, can you focus on

    anything but security?

    
        more computing capability than IT, on demand?
    Mobility

        Users are driving the next-generation platform.
    
        Can IT afford to get in front? Can IT afford not to?!
