IT Cost Optimisation Core Principles

There are a number of core principles to IT cost optimisation. Those include:

Efficiency Improvement

This involves process optimisation, reduction of waste and the automation of repetitive tasks.

Value Focus

Focus on IT investment that contributes directly and the most to desired outcomes.

Innovation Focus

Reallocate resources from non-strategic areas to areas where IT spend can be transformative.

Strategic Alignment

Ensuring that IT service aligns with your priorities and objectives.

Our experienced team know what it takes to deliver a well-executed IT cost optimisation strategy that will lead to a leaner IT operation that delivers high-quality services that supports your objectives.

Typical IT Cost Optimisation Focus Areas

Typically, IT costs will be optimised in the following focus areas:

  • Application Rationalisation - Remove or consolidate redundant, outdated or underused applications, and migrate away from custom applications.
  • Cloud Computing - Leverage the benefits of cloud and optimise cloud usage to lower costs.
  • Infrastructure Optimisation - Reduce hardware footprints, virtualise servers and storage and adopt energy efficiency techniques.
  • Process Automation - Automate repetitive IT and business tasks and reduce manual intervention where possible.
  • Outsource Non-Core Services - Outsource non-core IT functions to specialised operators.
  • Workforce Optimisation - Review and optimise your workforce to improve service and reduce costs.
  • Vendor Management - Actively work with vendors to lower costs, consolidate and achieve economies of scale.
  • Data Management - Archive data and introduce data deduplication techniques to lower data costs.

IT Cost Optimisation Technology Strategy

When it comes to IT Cost Optimisation, there are two key questions to answer:

  • What time frame do you need to achieve cost savings results within?
  • What appetite is there to change the way you go about things compared to today?

Answers to those questions define what we need to focus on and effectively helps us prioritise our actions and focus areas.

Having defined your priorities, we then embark on our 6-step IT cost optimisation process.

A well-executed IT cost optimisation exercise is not just about cutting costs. It is about unlocking your potential for growth, agility, and long-term success. It ensures you remain competitive, innovative, and resilient in a dynamic market.
