Often a company realizes that they should take a close looks at their IT spending. Is it possible to obtain IT cost reduction? The IT cost reduction pros at SASE Experts have years of experience and an extensive database of benchmark pricing that can be used to leverage lower prices from your IT vendors.
Having a low-cost position is a key differentiator between leaders and followers. We help companies in a wide range of industries around the world create disruptive changes in their IT cost position, be it to help them catch up with the industry’s cost experience curve to widen their competitive advantage. These programs use a battery of tools to deliver cost reduction of a company’s addressable IT cost base.
SASE Experts’s first IT cost reduction step is to diagnose key opportunities for savings. This involves reviews of all service contracts and a sample of invoices to obtain the information needed. From there, we set the right targets, using external market benchmarks.
Areas of opportunity include:
SASE Experts teams with the organization to mobilize it for the upcoming changes, working collaboratively across functions and addressing concerns to get the necessary buy-in. We do it with the organization, not to the organization, simultaneously launching some projects with relatively quick returns to build momentum
With management, we design a customized IT cost reduction plan for hitting the targets they are setting by applying our world-class tools. Cost reductions need to be conducted “with the grain” of the organization in order to make them stick and the key is to tailor them to overall strategy; bolstering revenue potential instead of undercutting it.
The last phase, implementation, is the one with the longest legs. Tracking IT cost metrics is one piece of it, but hardly the only one. If the employees at the front line don’t begin to think and act differently, the initial cost savings won’t last. To ensure that change becomes deeply embedded in the organization, we often help companies evaluate the degree of disruption each group is likely to experience and set up capabilities to mitigate it.
The fee model for SASE Experts’s IT cost reduction process is a blend of fixed and contingency based. Our success depends on your success, so our goals are mutually aligned.
