Cost Optimization and Driving Value in a Changing World

Leverage applications cost-effectively to drive business value and innovation

Today’s volatile environment requires proactive cost management, making planning harder. Modernizing legacy apps boosts agility and cuts technical debt. Join us at Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit to reframe cost optimization as a business discipline and align tech investments with enterprise value.

Your critical cost optimization questions

Cost optimization is top of mind for enterprise application leaders, enterprise architects and software engineering leaders — and you're not alone in your questions.

As organizations explore how to manage costs against value effectively, there are critical questions that need to be answered, including:

  • How can we optimize costs while ensuring alignment with business objectives and enterprise growth?
  • How can we effectively negotiate contracts to optimize costs and reduce risks?
  • What metrics should we use to demonstrate the value added by our application initiatives to our customers and stakeholders?
  • How can we prove the value of enterprise application investments amid budget constraints and competing priorities?

At #GartnerAPPS, our expert-led sessions tackle these questions head-on to equip you with practical solutions that will accelerate your organization.
