It’s no secret
that companies often look to cut IT budgets in times of economic
difficulty. But as McKinsey Consulting recently reported, it
doesn’t make sense to do across the board IT budget cuts. Instead,
the business should still make targeted investments that actually
cut costs and prepare for the future. CIOs who take this advice to
heart can present their board a strategy that delivers savings
today and greater opportunity in the future. Why wait? Putting off
the deployment of WAN optimization means savings and opportunity
lost for the business.
