Fortune 1000 Demand a Level Playing Field
Evaluating the price/performance of competing vendors is becoming increasingly difficult as vendors offer more sophisticated products with wildly varying ROI and TCO claims. Many Fortune 1000 CIO's adopted a standard platform for ROI analysis in 2003 to put competing IT vendors and competing IT projects on a level playing field. The big trend in 2004 is CIO's increasingly demanding more sophisticated "What-If" analysis and risk assessment capabilities. Discover why 81% of Fortune 1000 companies use CIOview tools like ROInow!
