DISCOVER
We begin with Entitlements Baselines. A comprehensive review of all contracts, ordering documents/forms, license agreements is carried out to assess obligations, entitlements and risks. Further strategies are devised on a comprehensive ITAM review.
INSIGHT
A comprehensive run of scripts to discover software deployment, ITAM review, architectural reviews are undertaken to reconcile discovered data. Interpretations are designed using intricate knowledge of licensing policies, architectures and cloud. Environments are normalized, cleansed and re-architectures planned.
DESIGN
An important phase! This phase is critical in establishing the base position of strength - which is used as your platform to negotiate the best deal from your vendors. We apply policies, interpretations, contract linkages, master agreements and dependencies to outline your base position of strength.
IMPLEMENT
This is where the results start to show. We help you with insights on how to maximise your entitlements while reducing your support tails, identification of area improvement, transformation & optimization. We plan to re-negotiate, re-contract, re-design or re-allocate assets. Process improvements are looked into.
MAINTAIN
This stage defines the establishment of a third-party program office for cost management and is a highly critical function in measuring, reporting and optimizing efficiencies to drive sustainable cost leadership. The ITCO PMO helps the IT & Business teams to implement the identified strategies without disruption to business as usual and establishes a trust between an organization and its vendors.
