Corporate Leaders: Making every IT dollar count is key to profitability. As your IT Cost Reduction Advisor, I've seen firsthand how proactive cost management helps companies exceed financial goals.
In my experience, saving companies over $100 million in IT costs, I've identified key areas to focus on:
1. Disciplined business case management
2. IT Projects benefit tracking
3. IT Cost allocation based on usage
4. IT Cost benchmarking
5. Monitoring managed services, SaaS & IaaS utilization
These five strategies create a proactive culture of IT cost control, avoiding reactive measures when financial pressure mounts.
