Telecommunications Cost Management — Inaction Costs You Money
Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 4:00 PM EST
Organizations are increasingly required to obtain more value and capability within
their existing portfolio of telecommunications services, or in many case working
to drive increased output through enhanced services while reducing costs. This management
challenge is further complicated due to the limited time and resources organizations
have to fully research, understand and report on competitive and market trends.
In this case study webinar, TAC Executive Consultants Rick Derouin and Mark Price
— recognized thought leaders in telecommunications cost management —
will highlight how telecommunications cost management best practices have been applied
at an enterprise client. Hot issues to be addressed include:
- What are the risks and benefits of undertaking a telecomm cost management project?
- What is the impact to internal resources of a cost management project?
- What are the risks if you don’t do a cost management project?
- How should you assess alternative providers and technologies when analyzing deployed
network infrastructure?
- What process should be used to benchmark current services and cost?
- What management structures and processes are required to effectively manage telecomm
costs?
- What results can you expect from a telecomm cost management program?

the IT and telecommunications industries, with the past 12 years focused on increasing
clients’ business benefits from investments in communications technology and
services and ensuring clients need what they have and are paying the best possible

benchmarking, and alignment of technology for increased communications (voice and
data) effectiveness. Mr. Derouin began his career with 10 years at IBM, in the last
15 years of his vendor career he was Senior Vice President of TeleGlobe, Vice President
of AT&T Public Sector Markets, World Wide Vice President of Steltor, and Global
Vice President of Oracle’s SWAT Team.

telecommunications industry. He is an accomplished consultant, writer, and practitioner

and marketing capacities. He then spent 10 years as a consultant and project manager

Cyber Security — Prevention, Detection, Response and Recovery
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM EST
“There are two types of company — those who know they have been hacked,
and those who don’t.”
In this webinar, TAC International principal Jim Noble (former CIO at GM, BP, Merrill
Lynch, Time Warner and Philip Morris, and advisor to the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security) will discuss the materiality of the risks posed by cyber threats. Jim
will provoke debate by justifying his controversial views that many enterprises
don’t care, most enterprises don’t know, and almost all enterprises
are incapable of effective response. Jim will cite case studies that show the extent
of the problem, and then go on to describe approaches for prevention, detection
and reaction.
Jim Noble, TAC International Principal, is widely recognized as one of the world’s
thought leaders in achieving worthwhile business results from investments in IT.
Jim is the only person to have been voted ”CIO of the Year” in both
Europe and North America. In 2012, Jim won CIO magazine’s award for
the innovative use of technology. Jim has advised governments and heads of state
on technology strategy, and helps teach the next generation of IT leaders at Columbia
University (New York) and the University of Calgary (Haskayne Business School).
Jim was also Dean of the IT Academy at General Motors and BP. His book The CIO’s
Secret Playbook is scheduled for publication in 2013.
