View this on- demand webcast featuring IDC as they discuss the results of their research- based white paper sponsored by CA, How Project And Portfolio Management Are Delivering Value to Organizations. When IT projects fail, the costs can be severe, both in terms of budget wasted and time lost. Even projects that are completed often end up costing more than they should, or don't deliver the business impact expected. Using Project and Portfolio Management gives both IT and business users critical information to make fact- based investment decisions that deliver projects with real business impact on time and within budget.

This recently- released white paper is based on in- depth interviews with organizations that are successfully using PPM and sheds light on the true value of PPM. The research results illustrate key benefits of PPM:

• Effective use of budget: Cost per project reduced 37%
• Delivery of projects with real business value: Redundant projects dropped 78%
• Effective use of staff resources: IT staff productivity increased 14%
• Improved project success: Project failure rate dropped 59%
• Return on PPM investment: Payback occurred in 7.4 months

In addition to discussing these results, IDC explores why PPM provides such significant ROI and how your organization can apply the tools and techniques to attain similar success.

Everyone who views this webcast will receive a copy of the IDC white paper, as well as complimentary access to the online maturity and benefits calculator built using the IDC results. With the online calculator, you can quickly determine the value of PPM for your organization.

Making the right IT investment decisions is more critical now then ever.
