FEATURE : CIO customers on their cloud journey by removing the heavy lifting required by organisations doing the transition themselves .
“ They are enabling this by simplifying the process and providing a suite of consumptive services that address common pain points , for example , cost management and the skills shortage facing MEA . Organisations can now consume everything as a service by adopting a service or acquiring an As-a-Service product from these partners , allowing the CIO to focus on the new initiatives that the business demands to become more adaptable ,” he said .
Vijay Jaswal , CTO , Middle East and Turkey , Software AG , said the company has been dedicated to integrating and connecting everything to give organisations the power to instantly see , decide , act and thrive . Jaswal said tools such as Alfabet no matter what the problem , digital innovation is likely part of the solution . But the companies that are doing digital right don ’ t invest in more IT , they invest in smarter IT . They use IT portfolio management solutions , such as Alfabet to make sense of every IT investment .
That said , Jaswal pointed out that cost cutting measures , or better still ensuring a CIO ’ s IT department is deriving the maximum value for the business is a behaviour most firms are currently undertaking across the Middle East and Africa ( MEA ). “ There are many tools available for a CIO that would enable him / her to make the best IT investment decisions by understanding when , where , how and why to make changes . For example , Software AG ’ s Alfabet , enables enterprises to link the interdependent perspectives of IT , business , finance and risk for a full analysis of how IT can support business change . This in turn provides a reduction in transformational risk for an organisation . p
