A change of ownership of Miller Brewing Company several years ago brought the requirement for more rigor in IT finance. Jeff and his staff were challenged to take responsibility for managing the IT cash flow and improve the integrity, consistency and transparency of IT financial reporting. Jeff and Scott will discuss the changing role of the IT Finance organization as they assumed more responsibility and what they did to improve the credibility of the financial information they manage. They will discuss their new approach to forecasting the IT spend and how they work with the project office and other IT departments to evaluate and adjust the forecasts when needed. They will also cover how they took responsibility for vendor management, improving processes and lowering costs.
