Você está lutando para equilibrar a consciência de custos com serviços de TI de alto nível. Como você pode fazer isso funcionar?

Otimizar custos sem perder em eficiência em produtividade é desafiador, mas totalmente possível. Atuar estrategicamente em renegociações comerciais com parceiros não somente é indicado, mas vital para a manutenção das relações. Ademais, automatizar tarefas repetitivas é, sem sombra de dúvidas, um dos principais intrumentos para alocar recursos em atividades mais estratégicas sem precisar interferir no orçamento de TI.

I have worked in a company that was desperately needing guidance when it comes to Hardware maintenance. It was a computer-based system with old hardware that required an upgrade. The first thing I did was make sure we could create a ground base of how much we could afford on those updates, but most importantly, I made sure that all working computers were tested and checked, for before I came to the company they had no control over it and had no idea what kind of model or setup that computer had. Knowledge is always important to stand out, but we must also value the needs of the company and how we can create a beneficial situation where we invest in what we need, creating a better environment for all workers.

To balance cost-consciousness with top-notch IT services: 1 Prioritize Needs: Focus on essential services and cut unnecessary spending. 2 Leverage Cloud Solutions: Use scalable cloud services to reduce infrastructure costs. 3 Optimize Vendor Contracts: Negotiate better terms and explore competitive options. 4 Implement Automation: Automate routine tasks to save time and reduce labor costs. 5 Monitor Performance: Regularly track performance and make adjustments to improve efficiency.

It all starts with finding solutions that exist on the market and assessing the company's needs. Of course it is convenient to have your Kubernetis and 15 virtual machines with 18 cores and 64 GB each in Google Cloud, but is it really that necessary? And is it possible to deploy this infrastructure on your own servers? And can these virtual machines be turned off if they're not being used right now? What is stored in our 100 Tb. AWS S3 buckets? And can we use our own S3 compliant solutions? The key is not to harm uptime by judiciously assessing the risks.

Al optimizar operaciones y reducir el desperdicio, se pueden reasignar recursos de manera más eficiente. Con los ahorros obtenidos de las optimizaciones mencionadas, los recursos pueden ser redirigidos hacia áreas de TI que generen mayor valor, como innovación tecnológica, mejora de la ciberseguridad o desarrollo de nuevas capacidades.

Utilizing cloud services can therefore provide a good cost management system and quality IT service as it allows the scaling to the requirements, has lower initial infrastructure costs and pay for use pricing structure. The services also allow for flexibility of using new and advance technologies and other resources without the need to purchase equipment or do maintenance on them. This flexibility aids organizations in ensuring that they only spend on what is necessary in as far as IT services are concerned while at the same time allowing them to have quality services that can be catered for their needs.

Cloud Services provide a way to manage business solutions that ebb and flow with seasonal changes, have long lifecycles or can be influenced by something kind of force majeure like the weather. It allows us to use what we need and scale up or down according to the landscape we are facing. It is also important to understand in depth what a cloud SaaS, storage, computing process, service etc. my entail in terms and conditions. These could have a cost impact if you should ever need to be entirely agile and split the scene!

El software de código abierto ofrece soluciones robustas y económicas, brindando libertad para adaptar la tecnología sin restricciones. Aunque hay una curva de aprendizaje y está asociado un costo, este proceso es clave para alcanzar la excelencia, y el respaldo de una comunidad global es invaluable. Sin embargo, gestionar y proteger estas herramientas requiere habilidades especializadas. El verdadero valor del código abierto radica en su uso eficiente, pero es fundamental evaluar el costo-beneficio, ya que el soporte técnico especializado puede superar al de los sistemas licenciados, lo que influye en la decisión de qué herramientas utilizar en el core del negocio.

Según mi experiencia, la capacitación del personal es la mejor inversión que puede realizar una organización, personal capacitado y actualizado permite la optimización de tareas y evita los tiempos muertos en búsquedas de resolución externas. Así mismo, refuerza los lazos empresariales al demostrar que se quiere invertir en el personal existente e incentiva al desarrollo profesional y personal.

Choosing the right vendor is like George Costanza navigating life—don’t just go for the cheapest option. Focus on quality and service to avoid a “Serenity now!” moment later. Build solid relationships with your vendors, and you’ll get better deals, insider info, and avoid any “yada yada yada” headaches. Be smart, like George on a good day, and make sure your vendors have your back.

Negociar nuevamente los contratos con proveedores puede resultar en ahorros significativos sin comprometer la calidad del servicio. Esto puede implicar renegociar términos de servicio, precios o incluso buscar proveedores alternativos que ofrezcan mejores condiciones. La relación con los proveedores debe ser gestionada para asegurar que se obtengan los mejores términos posibles.
