I have always found Anita's books to be filled very useful subject matter especially with tools and processes that have guided me through various IT related initiatives. Anita and Dan have done it again. What I found especially helpful is how the book is laid out. It takes the reader through each area of IT and lays out cost reduction strategies in each of those areas. Anita's focus on obtaining real-life examples by interviewing IT leaders throughout the country has made this book very impactful. This book will allow you to put pencil to paper and layout cost reduction in all areas of IT. I know my IT organization will benefit greatly from the tools in this book.

As an IT Infrastructure Director in a Fortune 100 company, I found the time spent reading this book well worth it. The practical, easy to read format makes it a quick read. Even though I've worked in this field for 20 years, I gained some valuable tips on how to continue to reduce costs. It also is a good reference book as it is indexed very well; I've referred to it many times. Specifically, it is a good reference during the budget season. I believe this pragmatic guide could benefit all IT leaders!

An excellent resource for IT Executives looking for different approaches to cutting costs intelligently! Successful ideas from IT Executives are sprinkled throughout the book, which enhance and validate the cost cutting strategies, tools, techniques that Anita Cassidy delivers in the book.

`Of all the IT Management books I have pursued over the years, Reducing IT Costs is the only one I actually refer to on a daily basis.
I have known Anita for over 15 years, she is a master of her craft. A working session with Anita always provides insight into leadership and management. Share the book with a colleague. They'll thank you!'

I like the fact that this book contains expected average savings and real world examples. After reading this book, I feel able to discuss areas outside of my expertise. You can tell a lot of research was put into this book. I highly reccomend it.

As an IT Leader, we need information which we can put into practice and provide us immediate ideas and options to aid in our daily operations and budget management. We need ideas that will work and are not based on traditional book theory. This book provides input from real people with the real challenges we all face within our IT worlds on a daily basis. The book is a good read, easy and practical. The economy has tossed a curve ball at an already challenged IT budget, it's always good to learn from each other and this book provides just that. Thank you Dan and Anita.
