CFOs refuse to waste IT resources on low value-added projects المشاريع
One of the most important considerations for CFOs to spend on IT is prioritizing projects that generate positive business outcomes. When asked about IT projects that would be canceled when there is no significant business value or return on investment, responses included “disruptive next-generation technology initiatives” and “key ERP migration and redeployment projects.” When there is no justifiable ROI, situations such as simply changing technologies or changes being made by ERP manufacturers do not generate any value for IT investments.

Large investments in low value-added technology such as some mandatory ERP migrations and upgrades can be deferred or avoided. Additionally, ERP systems can be improved through strategic changes such as moving to standalone support, for example, allowing resources to be released to help accelerate digital transformation and innovation projects in general.
