IO Connect Services - Middleware Cost Optimization Assessment (OLA)

Overview

Using IO Connect Services unique middleware specific Optimization Licencing Assessment (OLA) approach, all aspects of the implementation will be evaluated attain a thorough, detailed view of the implementation to provide:

• An evaluation of current spend in licensing and infrastructure
• Analysis of transactional flows and data paths
• Recommendations for cost reduction in licensing & infrastructure
• Estimated savings broken down by approach taken
• Documentation of existing middleware architecture
• Recommendations for architectural improvement for security, reliability, cost containment and seasonality
• Formal proposal with preliminary costs and time for optimization

Depending on the size, age, spend and complexity of the implementation IO Connect Services has delivered upwards of 40% savings in year, after the cost of optimization, with upto 80% year 2 onwards.

Additionally this assessment will enable you to identify where AWS Aurora, EC2, S3, DynamoDB and more can improve performance, scalability and uptime including the associated cost implications.

Our Approach

IO Connect Services goal is to provide the customer with a per transaction cost for the current and optimized middleware deployment depending on the final approach taken.

• 1 Day Workshop to understand business model and objectives, assess current infrastructure, gather licensing and billing information, attain systems access and deploy AWS monitoring agent. Workshop attendees will be expected to be prepared to provide relevant data upon request in areas such as performance, licensing, reliability, cost efficiency, security, compliance, seasonality, team skills and executive sponsor
• 2-3 Week data gathering and evaluation
• Develop TCO model for present and future architecture & licensing optimization options, at a transaction level where applicable.
