Making "Cents" of Technology

We discussed how finance leaders can leverage their roles and responsibilities to achieve, optimize, and track the ROI for IT projects while managing risk and maximizing shareholder value.

From email hosting to business intelligence projects that utilize big data, every business relies on technology to drive their performance but must manage the associated risk, cost, and return. Our 2014 CFO Sentiment Study revealed that both financial and operational aspects of technology are a top priority for CFOs across industries, around the country.

Drinker Biddle partner Ira Kalina framed our discussion on topics related to:

• The life cycle of an IT projects;
• The 360º of the cloud;
• Risk management and defining what privacy means to you;
• The biggest “oops” in IT contracts;
• A case study in approaches to measuring the ROI of IT projects; and
• The future of big data/analytics.
