OPEX Reduction: FIND and CUT excessive operating costs NOW
Control IT & Save
Taking the lawnmower approach to cutting costs may be faster and involve less effort for IT Finance staff but it runs the risk of endangering future business outcomes. The first step in understanding what to cut is to find out where business has its costs. Business areas – or domains – that are consuming a lot of IT services (and thus cost) may be doing so in a strategic or tactical drive. That’s fine. But if it’s due to sloppy business processes or inefficient IT support, here is potential for IT savings. By using Control IT & Save to relate IT systems to business processes and capabilities you can identify:
- Redundancies in IT support for a business process or capability
- Service levels that are higher than what's required by a business process or capability
- Applications that are no longer in use or are due for a dormant period due to current strategic focus
How we do it:
- Map IT system costs to business domains
- Evaluate IT service level requirements per business domain according to business criticality
- Reduce non-critical IT systems
