Supporting Frontline IT Purchasing in the Cloud Era
The rapid consumerization of IT across different areas of campus is becoming the new normal in technology acquisition. Along with the steady decline in technology price points and the quickening pace of IT penetration, CIOs are working against independent budgets and vendors who market direct-to-end users.
This is a growing challenge for IT leaders—but also an opportunity for meaningful change. While non-expert purchasing has many risks, distributed purchasing environments offer CIOs a tremendous opportunity to facilitate campus digitization.
With appropriate measures for discovering distributed purchasing and effective methods for education and partnership with buyers, CIOs can leverage their peers to ensure safe and cost-effective IT acquisition across the institution.
