By using consistent and repeatable methodology to predict and track project value before, during and post-implementation, Intel Corp. managed to cut costs and generate business value, says Stacy Smith, CIO of Intel Corp.

The transformation began when senior management challenged the IT department to prove the ROI of its solutions.
