Leverage IT Portfolio Management to Run Public Sector Like a Business
Tuesday October 18th
Time: 10:30am – 12:00pm (Networking lunch from 12:00pm -1:00pm)

It’s no secret that you are managing in unprecedented times requiring a complete rethinking of how you can best provide citizen services. The challenge you face is to manage your agency or department like a business with a laser focus on providing the best services with the greatest efficiency. This new reality requires that you make sound IT portfolio investment decisions that emphasize cost reduction through consolidation, creation of shared services to allow reinvestment of savings to optimize service delivery. To get to this level of optimization requires that IT, the underpinning of your operational and delivery mechanism, is finely tuned to drive value.

This tuning requires that you do a few vital things well:

  • Evaluate your current state (As-is) IT portfolio and understand the interdependencies between investments with a strategic plan moving forward (To-be state)
  • Help manage portfolio or portfolios’ of applications related to hardware, software and network.
  • Make smart investment decisions with key initiatives to carry them out
  • Measure and transparently communicate progress in providing better services while advancing to your future state IT portfolio

In this session Oracle and Accenture will share their experiences and see a live demo that illustrates how agencies and departments have been helped in making the right investment decisions to simultaneously improve their delivery of services to their constituents, increase their efficiency and reduce risk.

Presenters:

Nicholas Bayley, CIO, Canadian Lead for IT Strategy Practice, and Global Lead for IT Transformation, Accenture Research Institute

Kristin Desha – Senior Solutions Consultant, Oracle Primavera
