Finance departments rule

This year finance departments are calling the shots, with a single business aim, reducing cash flow for 2009.
This is a challenge for IT departments but also an opportunity. For companies with existing Citrix or VDI infrastructures some interesting options present themselves.
I’ve seen two areas being exploited. Building upon a well designed existing infrastructure to increase working from home capacity incurs just a modest cost. Yet, its cost savings can be exponential. Enabling more staff to work from home can reduce office space requirements, a major ongoing expense.
The second push, resulting from the present economic climate, is expanding the off shore workforce, again quickly and cost effectively addressed with a Citrx XenApp or VDI systems.

This year doesn't have to be taxing, and for those prepared to adapt and hunt for new opportunities, the next 12 months could prove engaging and profitable.
