An Executive Primer on Cutting Costs with Third-Party Software Support

IT, Finance, and Procurement Executives are exploring all their support options as enterprise software maintenance fees rise to 22% or more of license costs and take an increasing bite out of tight IT budgets. One proven option for significantly reducing these out-of-control costs is third-party software support.

Hundreds of global, Fortune 500, public sector, and midmarket organizations have replaced their vendor annual support, enabling them to save 50 percent or more on support fees and avoid expensive upgrades for 10 years or more on their Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and SAP software. Total maintenance cost savings can be as high as 90 percent for some organizations.

To learn whether third-party support fits your IT strategy, we asked distinguished analyst Ray Wang from the Altimeter Group along with Bob Evans of InformationWeek to join in for a discussion. You'll learn:

  • How to assess whether third-party support is a fit with your IT strategy
  • How third-party support compares with software vendor support
  • How third-party support can free up significant funds for strategic projects
We encourage you to spend a few minutes listening to this webcast or download the Podcast and find out for yourself.

Organizations are spending 2/3 of IT budgets just keeping the lights on... that doesn't leave much to fund strategic initiatives.
