Our Focus IT Investment Optimization (ITO) focuses on the decision-making discipline for maximizing the business value received from IT Spending (investments). ITO blends contractual standardization, financial transparency of services, products and operational optimization of IT resources. The objective is to provide technology leaders and business partners with the facts needed to collaborate on running IT like a business.

• Increase visibility of Cloud and on-premises assets and spends through projects and consolidated platforms.
• Adopt and Standardize Reference Architectures (AWS Well Architected Framework, ITIL, etc.) for technology stack deployments and instituting appropriate governance
• Utilize Enterprise Content Management Systems to add or consolidate installations, to manage licenses, enterprise content and usage information
• Contract Accountability Based on Strategy and Compliance – not just terms – through stronger contract definition and improve visibility and connections between daily encounters and agreements.

Our Approach We help IT Management focus on the business outcomes associated with IT investment optimization. Today’s businesses are data driven. Contract, Operations and Financial data are areas often forgotten when the term “IT Asset” is discussed. Organizations must focus on this first in order to achieve IT, operational and business efficiency, effectiveness – up to and including stakeholder satisfaction.

What You Can Expect The first initial engagement is approximately 120 hours (spread over 4 weeks). We will interview key personnel and assess key artifacts. Our standard methodology is tailored to your specific organization IT landscape, with information and participation from you about your company and its tools, people and processes. Utilizing a structured process, you’ll receive a clear baseline of IT financial spend and identify your IT Business Management maturity level with expected business outcomes that focus in three areas of IT Assets: Contractual, Financial and Operational.
