Business Technology Optimization (BTO) - the new IT strategy

by: Edwin Boss and Kees van den Brink, Mercury Interactive

Companies today must better align IT systems and services with measurable business goals and strive to get the most performance, availability and reliability from their applications and IT infrastructure in order to maximize business results and eliminate technology waste.

BTO: Do More With Less
Today's increasingly complex IT infrastructures must contend with a business imperative that rejects technology for technology's sake and insists on achieving the maximum value from any IT investment. Companies must do more with less.

Companies are turning to business technology optimization (BTO), a new business strategy that extends the principles of quality management across the entire application lifecycle.

The new paradox for today's CIO is 'do more with less.' After investing millions in technology to automate mission critical business processes, IT and business goals are still not aligned and there is a lack of quality in the IT product. The strategy of business technology optimization will enable CIOs to deliver on this mandate, by optimizing their IT infrastructure to maximize business results and minimize costs."

– Theresa Lanowitz, Research Director, Gartner, Inc.
