According to a Market Speed report by KMPG: “Eighty percent of revenue growth will depend on digital offerings and operations” by 2022. To handle this increased financial pressure, businesses will need to ready their IT operations to ensure they're not overspending on technology that isn't meeting their goals.
What does this mean for your software selection process? Just as in any other enterprise software selection, IT financial management and technology business management (ITFM/TBM) automation and modelling software solutions are only as effective as the education and support provided by the software partners.

With people focused on mitigating the effects of COVID-19, managing IT operations is likely not a priority.
At some point, normalcy will resume, and you will need to respond to the impact of COVID-19 on your business. For example, in the short term, you may be cutting software spend to extend your runway. This may seem like a smart financial move, and it may be. In the long term, however, it could cause greater challenges for your IT and business operations. Therefore, you'll need to consider how you will evolve as you navigate the current pandemic.
