Cost saving strategies for your IT service
As IT professionals we all know that investment in IT is essential to making local public services affordable, but the immediate challenge is to run a tight ship.
Socitm Consulting can help you deliver savings on your IT service now and into the future. We can provide the impetus and specialist skills and knowledge to drive down costs in areas such as:
- Reducing desktop costs per user. Standardising the desktop, moving to thin client and potentially outsourcing both support and hosting (via the cloud) can achieve significant savings
- Applications software licensing and support. Have you got these costs as low as they can go? We can review your applications portfolio and identify options for savings by eliminating redundant apps, reducing user counts and validating supplier support charges, as well as contributing to future applications strategy
- Using cheaper storage methods for infrequently accessed data. Most of the data you're obliged to store is rarely used, so you can reserve expensive, high-performance storage for the important stuff and use slower and cheaper - but equally resilient and secure - hardware for the rest
- Managing procurement better. Whether it's infrastructure, applications, support or consumables, we can determine whether your suppliers are providing the service levels expected and pricing that is market-competitive
A short meeting will give you a clear picture of what we can jointly achieve. Call me on 0845 241 2774 or reply to this email if you would like to fix one up.
