To help you determine if and how you can reduce your IT costs, SDLC Solutions have developed a one-day assessment service to identify the scope and potential extent of cost reductions. This service will be provided by an experienced senior consultant from our Advisory practice.
At NCC Group we have experts in cost optimisation who can assist with such activities as:
- Implementing effective IT governance arrangements so that IT investments are managed properly and the expected benefits are realised
- Benchmarking IT costs and staffing levels against industry expectations to determine if there is likely to be scope for cost or staff reduction
- Sourcing IT services in the most efficient way so that costs are optimised whether through outsourcing, in-sourcing or delivering shared IT services across multiple organisations
- Implementing world-class IT management practices and business processes to reduce costs and improve service levels
- Using technologies such as virtualisation and deeply embedded automation to reduce operating costs
- Enabling home and flexible working so that staff are deployed at times which suit business requirements and reducing facility costs
- Designing a technical architecture which enables cost reductions through infrastructure simplification
- Re-negotiating supply contracts to benefit from the best rates available in the market
- Implementing robust chargeback arrangements so that costs are recovered fairly and in relation to resources consumed
The assessment workshop will examine key areas of how you deliver IT services to your business. Building on the information gathered above, we will work with you to examine those areas that are being delivered efficiently and effectively.
The workshop will qualitatively and quantitatively examine how effectively you are delivering your IT services and where we think savings and efficiencies may be delivered.
The workshop will take the form of group or one-to-one meetings with staff where we will discuss in greater detail the areas covered in the initial data collection and review the potential for achieving efficiency savings.
