Plus ca change, Plus c'est la meme chose

¹Source: “Why isn’t IT spending creating more value?, October, 2010

CEOs struggle to understand why total IT costs keep increasing despite

falling IT unit costs, and why IT continually consumes more of the corporate

budget¹.

The more that things change, The more they stay the same

2014 is the Year of Delivering Operational Results.

“Despite hundreds of billions of

dollars wasted on failed R&D

projects, most market

influencers would agree that

enterprise software vendors

have produced a dearth of

innovation over the past

decade…Innovation came

from the consumer tech side

and next-generation solution

providers.”

IT Operating Budget Allocation*

Driving Global Expansion and Innovation -

Embraer

“Our original target was to

achieve 25 percent total

savings in our IT budget.

We surpassed that, saving

30 percent. So now our

percentage ratio of IT

maintenance costs to

innovative projects, which

formerly was 70/30, is

50/50. And we envision

opportunities to go even

further reversing the

original ratio to 30/70 ”
