Event Description
Technology is not only changing our lives at home but at work too. As government entities, the focus has shifted to cost reduction, driven by strategic decisions, the adoption of appropriate technology and its implications for efficiencies.
Finance officers need be cognizant of the recent uptick in technology spend and how it will impact budgets and financial plans now and in the future. This session will provide an overview of technology and trends for IT procurement, key steps in the formation of a technology procurement from market analysis to contract negotiations, and lessons learned to ensure the successful implementation and integration with your entity’s IT roadmap.
Learning Objectives: Participants completing this session will be able to:
• Identify IT spending for your organization and select the right procurement method
• Understand the trends in IT procurement and how it impacts budgeting
• Validate the need for establishing a thorough procurement plan to develop a vetting process for implementing new technology
• Learn key contract elements that will define deliverables, compliance and assess the risk for both parties.
