ITplanning.
IT professionals are constantly trying to balance ongoing IT needs with digital transformation objectives across the organization. This is particularly challenging because IT budgets often allocate organizational spending into tools and projects with long-term time frames, limiting adaptability and the agility to change course or add new projects quickly. And siloed decision-making further negatively impacts operational efficiency. Modern IT teams need to be integrated with the rest of the business, in order to be responsive to changing demands and deliver a timely response.
IBM® Planning Analytics with Watson® allows IT teams to automate manual tasks in order to respond quickly to new demands and plan continuously. One centralized plan gives organizations the ability to optimize in real-time rather than manually making changes across multiple spreadsheets. Accelerate IT planning with an integrated planning approach that provides visibility into resource allocation, spend and asset utilization data, in order to align to departmental and organizational goals and ultimately to make better strategic decisions.
