| How to Reduce the Cost of IT |
|
White Paper written by Kai Holthaus, Director of Consulting, Third SkyIT Cost Reduction is one of the ‘buzz’ activities in corporations today. Faced with cost pressure, corporations are putting the pressure on their IT departments, to drive cost savings into the organizations. IT is faced with the challenge to keep the lights on, support new technologies at an ever-increasing pace, and reduce their budget all at the same time. In light of this challenge, IT will need to understand the cost structure of the services it offers to its customers. IT will have to understand how its customers use the services to enable business processes. And IT will need to work together with its customers to understand the value (not just the cost) of the IT services and provide its customers with levers to control their IT cost. This white paper discusses these issues and presents ideas on how to optimize IT cost while still providing value to the customers.
