IT Infrastructure Reviews

Reducing capital outlay, operating expense and freeing up cash flow

Information Technology is an essential element for any successful company today. But many companies are spending far more than they need to supporting and operating their IT. Gartner states that the cost of buying technology is only 30–40% of the overall cost of running the asset — yet most companies focus their efforts in negotiating the buy-price.

Depth of the IT Review

The IT Infrastructure review is a non intrusive assessment of contracts, deals & agreements, technology architecture & IT vendor management looking for opportunities to recover hidden charges or overpayments i.e. charges for equipment no longer in use (or even in existence). Included in the reviews are all contracts relating to:

• Hardware
• Software
• Network service
• 3rd party services
• Any other outsourced IT services
• Maintenance & support

Our team has worked with global banks and insurance companies, service, consumer and logistics organisations, covering IT budgets that run from the £20m – £1.5bn.

Successes

• Working with a leading insurer, over 100 license and support agreements were assessed including undertaking frontline contract compliance, maintenance and renewal negotiations for the Client. Savings for the Client exceeded £10m.
• Working with the Client IT division, our team was able to reduce the costs of their email systems by a further 60% from the already negotiated volume discount.
