I’m scheduled to speak at a Sun briefing event entitled “Turn Obstacles into Opportunities” in Jakarta on Nov 24th. The agenda will be about achieving efficiency and maximizing ROA (Return on Assets) through future-proofing data centers, consolidation, virtualization of IT environment to maximize utilization and improve efficiency.
In business terms, ROA is defined as an indicator of how profitable a company is in relative to its total assets. In other words, ROA measures how efficient a company’s management is at using its assets to generate earnings.
Taking this into the IT perspective, most of the time, IT is viewed as a cost and most of the time, IT is leveraging on technology assets to enable and support the business. Maximizing efficiency, utilization of technology assets or being able to support the critical business functions with less assets are ways to achieve ROA in the IT context.
I hope to share some of these insights with our Indonesian friends and clients during this event. See you all there!
