Do you have “use it or lose it” budget remaining for 2017?
Don’t Lose Out on Budget Planning Next Year. Use What You Have Before It’s Too Late!
In “Five Tips for ‘Use It or Lose It’ Budgets”, Eric Thomas of CIO Insight discusses some ways that IT managers can improve the management of their budget processes. Eric talks about “use it or lose it” from his perspective:
“I often hear it from my clients in government, specifically from federal CIOs or IT managers. The phrase relates to their IT budget; if they don’t spend their money in the current year, it goes away the following year. … The impact of ‘use it or lose it’ or, more aptly, ‘spend it or lose it’ is most acutely felt during the budgeting process.”
With less than two months before the end of the calendar year, do you have “use it or lose it” funds that you need to spend before the page turns to next year? As a Cincom Smalltalk™ partner or customer, here’s a few quick ways in which you can spend that budget while improving the value and profitability of your company or application:
