Reduce IT Costs

Reducing costs sometimes necessary especially after aquistions, divestments, or changes in direction for the company to reshape and refocus the business and ensure it can meet its business goals. Management are often nervous about reducing the cost of IT as it is an area where few within the business understand the IT and are prepared to challenge the existing IT cost base.

We can work with management and the IT team to understand their existing cost base and use our experience and knowledge to provide appropriate benchmarks to similar size businesses with similar IT service levels.

Key areas from our experience where IT savings can be made include:

• review of the IT operating model to see where 3rd party providers could make a more cost effective service
• review of key contracts to identify ensure that the services being provided are appropriate to a size of the business being supported
• Application rationalisation and license optimisation
• Infrastructure rationalisation and use of alternative technologies such as cloud computing and Software as a service (SaaS)

We ensure that the savings we identify with management are fit for purpose, cost effective and achievable and often assist with the implementation if required.
