"IT is increasingly being cut out of the decision-making and budgeting processes and this is being exacerbated by digital transformation projects," says Peter Björkman, CTO of Snow Software. "CIOs and IT leaders are feeling marginalized and their relationship with the rest of the business has changed irreversibly. Snow's deep analytical capabilities provides insight into all technology usage, including that of business units, enabling IT leaders to efficiently manage and allocate technology budgets to support organizational goals." Cloud spend is spiralling out of control in many organizations, with CIOs and CFOs unable to identify wasted spend, optimize existing assets, or accurately plan for future costs. Complete visibility of all applications is essential to support an already-overburdened IT office if they are to get a handle on cloud spend within their business. With this visibility IT leaders can influence how the organization and business units consume software, driving substantial cost savings, efficiency gains and preventing security risks.
