Every enterprise AI initiative needs funding. The fastest path is often sitting inside your existing IT budget, hidden in underutilized licenses, redundant infrastructure, and process inefficiencies that have built up over years. This assessment finds that money.
Drawing on experience managing global IT spending at a Fortune 500 company and delivering tens of millions in annual savings, we conduct a focused, AI-powered assessment targeting the three areas that produce the fastest savings. The analysis employs AI technology to rapidly process contracts, spending patterns, utilization data, and benchmarks that would take a traditional consulting team months to review manually.
This is a $50,000 fixed-fee engagement designed to find the first $1 million in annual savings. We go after the quick wins first, the savings you can realize immediately without lengthy contract renegotiations. If we don't find $1 million, you don't pay.
Each area is examined independently with specific, quantified savings opportunities.
Complex systems, especially custom ones, can encompass dozens or hundreds of servers. Each carries associated costs for hardware, storage, backups, software licenses, and maintenance. These systems can be studied for optimization approaches that reduce overall costs while simultaneously improving performance.
Servers, storage, data centers, and network contracts accumulate cost over time. We analyze your infrastructure footprint for consolidation and migration opportunities.
Software licensing is one of the fastest-growing IT costs, and one of the least scrutinized. We analyze licenses for necessity, cost efficiency, and architectural alternatives. We identify unneeded licenses and evaluate moves to less expensive options.
This initial assessment targets the fastest savings. It can also be the starting point for a comprehensive optimization project based on the Nine Dimensions of IT Cost Optimization. The full project takes longer, in part because it includes contract renegotiations and deeper structural changes, but the savings potential is significantly larger.
If your IT costs have grown without a comprehensive review, there is almost certainly $1 million or more in savings waiting to be found. Let's talk about what a one-month assessment looks like for your organization.
