IT cost optimization is about more than cutting costs.

It's about sustainably improving your IT cost-to-value ratio. When planning your IT cost optimization journey:

  1. Understand your organization's current economic and operating context to know if you should prioritize actions that bring near-term gains or those that enable long-term opportunities.
  2. Identify asset, vendor, project, and workforce initiatives that will bring you to your desired destination.
  3. Lay these objectives out in a visual roadmap to share with stakeholders before setting out down your chosen path.
