Control IT & Save:
Reduce CAPEX and OPEX without risk to the Business

IT Finance Management: Give IT costs the 1-2!

1. OPEX Reduction: FIND and CUT excessive operating costs NOW

2. CAPEX Prioritization: CLASSIFY and CANCEL non-essential projects NOW

The economic downturn has IT Finance between a rock and a hard place. Required to cut costs immediately yet responsible for business returns, many in IT Finance Management are not comfortable with the calls they’re being asked to make. Are you really finding all the costs that are expendable? Do you really know the knock-on effects for each cut made? Probably not if IT costs have been managed solely on the basis of cost type and cost center - without any relationship to the business processes and capabilities they actually support. Without this insight, you’re being blind-sided. How can you know that:

  • you’re paying for multiple applications to support one and the same business process (and this for several different business processes)?
  • you’ve been paying for an application that has long since relinquished its support of a business process to another application?
  • there are at least 5 high-cost projects running which will have no significantly positive effect on business outcome?
  • 80% of the projects proposed for the 2010 budget have no direct relationship to the business strategy?


IT starts in the business!

Now you can hit back.
