Driving Greater Value from SAP through Effective IT & Business Partnership (Session 1513) Suzanne Passante, VP, IT Integration Services Day & Zimmermann, Inc. [

description

A top issue with IT service and support organizations today is how to drive greater business value from SAP solutions. Most often, the degree of value is directly tied to the decisions business leaders make on which SAP projects, enhancements, and new solutions they will ask IT to deliver to their organizations. This presentation will dive into today\'s challenges facing CIOs, technology delivery executives, and IT project managers: How do you balance the customers\' demands for SAP enhancements against finite technical resources and managing the IT portfolio? How do you build close, sustainable relationships with business leaders in order to drive greater influence on the strategic direction of SAP within their operations? What changes need to be made within IT itself (organizational structure, job roles, skills) in order to move from an "order-taker" to a valued partner? This presentation will explore the role of the IT business partner within Day & Zimmermann - the many successes achieved and challenges faced in influencing the strategic direction of SAP within its businesses. The presentation will provide detail on how Day & Zimmermann\'s IT business partners work with executive teams, their sphere of influence on business and IT decision-making, and driving ownership together with the interpersonal skills, organizational structure, and IT processes required for strategic alignment between IT and business stakeholders.
