Selling Services to the CFO

Gain insight into the CFO decision-making process regarding managed services and managed print services. According to Gartner Inc, CFOs are playing a bigger role in IT decisions than in the past. The ability to build a strong alliance with them will be important to executing technology plans for companies. SD research has been positive in terms of their changing roles and mindsets for the coming year. According to Deloitte’s 2010 Q4 CFO Survey, CFO’s are shifting from risk averse, defensive strategies to expansionary in 2011. Cost control and cost cutting strategies have fallen from first priority to third, focusing on new products and services, as well as expanding into new markets.
