This month's CW500 presentation in London was delivered by Phil Pavitt, CIO at HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the UK tax man), who described a programme within his department to drive cost savings within IT.

"I was thrilled at the level of detail and the depth of honesty in The Digital & Media Asset Management Research. Other research tends to want to rate a company for gold stars or magic numbers, but glosses over the real workings and customer experiences of the given vendor. This research is more valuable, and certainly more tangible than what other analysts have put forth."
