The CIO’s Handbook for IT Cost Optimization

Cost savings in plain sight, yet out of reach

You’re probably already running a cost optimization initiative—does it ever really end?

You know there are opportunities to save, but your team struggles to identify them and gain buy-in to make the necessary changes. Attempts at optimization, such as infrastructure consolidation, application rationalization, cloud adoption, vendor consolidation or offshoring, often overpromise and underdeliver because they lack hard data and rely too much on instinct.

In this book, we walk you through the four ways to optimize your IT costs and offer up prescriptive questions to make your analysis crisp and your conclusions actionable.

Changing our allocation model to be 100% consumption-based, understanding TCO and unit economics and, moreimportantly, influencing cost with the business is more critical than ever before. ”
