Their model hijacks your innovation budget to fund their roadmap instead of yours.This session shows how to take back control of your IT strategy. In this session you will learn:

How to regaun freedom over your IBM, HCL, and VMware estate with independent support.
How to escape the upgrade treadmill and redirect your resources into real innovation, such as AI.
