AUSTIN, Texas -- Planview([R]), the leading independent provider of enterprise-wide portfolio management solutions, is sponsoring the webcast, "Solving the Strategy Puzzle: A Strategic Framework for IT Financial Management," at 12:00 PM Central Daylight Time on Tuesday, April 29, 2008. The webcast will be presented by Business Finance magazine, which offers best practices for finance executives and is the preeminent publication in the space.

The webcast will explore how IT financial executives can use the discipline of portfolio management to achieve the alignment and transparency required to drive strategy throughout their organizations.

Who:

Randy Leiser is principal with Golden Creek Management and Capital Solutions, LLC and a Planview executive in residence, where he works closely with Planview to develop best practices and processes for financial planning, investment strategy and benefit realization within the Planview PRISMS([R]) Process Library, an industry-leading IT business management process knowledge base and best practices library.

Sue Burgess is vice president of project management with Early Warning Services. With more than 23 years of bank management experience in the areas of branch operations, business services, platform consolidation, lending operations, electronic payment processing, and ATM management, she offers webcast attendees an unparalleled depth of knowledge across a wide range of vital topics.

What:

Leiser will begin with a review of the drivers for a strategic approach to financial management, one that enables organizations to ensure they are allocating scarce resources to the best investments. Among the topics he will discuss are: how a strategic approach is differentiated from the traditional model; how it augments organizational financial management to improve strategic alignment and financial transparency; and adoption considerations.

Burgess will demonstrate how she led Early Warning Services through an implementation of her organizations' new IT financial management framework. She will discuss how this new approach enables benefits like the ability to make better IT investment decisions; how she secured the critical multi-department buy-in; and the steps she took to ensure a smooth adoption.
