Who pays for our IT? The move to subscription hardware is making that complicated

Subscription-based IT is becoming increasingly popular – not just for software, but also for hardware. This means our IT is increasingly not a capital investment, but an operational expense, which means different people are paying for it from different budgets. And those people aren’t always the most IT savvy.

So, what does this mean for our organisations, and how do we make sure that the right people are being educated to ask the right questions when it comes to IT? To help us unravel what’s going on, we’re joined today by Bob Panos, senior VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships at American Digital.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
