Budgeting is a standard process for many leaders: salary, bonus, benefits, travel, education, expense, etc. However, as new technologies and solutions come into the playing field, we must assess and evaluate .AI solutions and what the right fit and value add for the organization.Director of Information Security in Consumer Goods16 days ago
Every year should contain a mix of initiatives that go along with the wedding good luck practice: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue."- Reviewing infrastructure/desktop inventories and addressing out-of-date/out-of-warranty/out-of-support items.
- Gathering requirements for new applications and services form your executive team to ensure you're prepared and budgeted for them. This may involve a group prioritization effort to determine what is truly needed. In addition, some leader always posts a business goal that mostly requires IT to execute a major part of the plan.
- Review the services that your team supplies to the business and determine if some of these would be better served through outsourcing to an MSP or AMS, allowing your team to focus more on value-add activities.
- Let's look at "blue" as saying goodbye to items that have outlived their usefulness. Many IT personnel or internal business partners cling to applications and infrastructure that have served their purpose and are clinging to life. It may be time to say goodbye in favor of more capable replacements.
- My named top priorities for 2025 are SAP Phase I and Phase II implementation, replacement of an aging phone system, completing cloud migration, winnowing infrastructure hardware/applications to fewer vendors, acquisition integrations.

In my capacity, working with a diverse clientele, I see many companies prioritizing investments in upgrading their ERP, integrating predictive analytics digital tools, adding automation (RPA, mobility solutions, ML, and advanced robotics), and advancing the maturity of their S&OP/IBP programs with data intelligence to improve demand planning accuracy. I am also seeing significant interest in inventory optimization to better manage working capital, inventory planning, real-time product traceability, and inventory velocity. I think as most companies, especially in an election year, are seeking ways to leverage technology-enabling tools to reduce operating expenses, improve profitability, and enhance operational efficiencies without sacrificing customer experience.
