Nowadays, IT organizations face challenges that not only relate to the use of technologies, platforms and tendencies; they go go beyond operating and maintaining applications over 15 years-old, many of them developed in old or obsolete programming languages, in platforms whose maintenance and operation are increasingly more complicated to maintain. With this in mind we have developed an assembly of services and solutions for the purpose of supporting IT officials to optimize time, resources and investments in IT.

2. Amid the economic downturn, companies are searching for every
opportunity to cut costs. IT represents an important part of total spending
and its direct contribution to revenues and profits is often difficult to
assess.

Cost reduction often begins with IT. Frequently viewed as a significant
cost, yet at the same time expected to deliver technology that
transforms how business operates, IT cost reductions id becoming more
challenging than ever, CIO’s have typically exhausted and quick
savings.
But ending substantial savings isn’t easy. Many CIOs have already
spent years reducing costs in operations, procurement and outsourcing
services.
Sprita iT has identified three phases of IT cost reduction to help
organizations reduce cost while increasing the benefit that It can deliver
overall business.
Minimize spend

4. Minimize spend

Rationalize software licenses.
An inventory of licenses should uncover idle, underused, and even incorrect ones.
When business managers participate in the review, CIOs can determine how many
licenses are truly necessary, retire those that aren’t, and then negotiate deeper
discounts by consolidating licenses.
Decommission little- or never-used applications.
Candidates for retirement include business applications that have rarely or never been
used over the past year. Different approaches may be required: depending on usage
and need, some may be retired immediately, others replaced by newer applications,
and still others phased out gradually.
Cancel noncompliant projects. An assessment of the degree to which ongoing
projects support both the business and IT strategies can reveal candidates for
continuing support, revision, or termination.

5. Optimize for efficiency

Reduce applications complexity. An IT staff can spend as much as 30% of its
development time on applications making all of their interfaces work, largely because
customized applications have so many point-to-point interfaces.
Consolidate systems that do similar things. Different business units in the same
company often have their own versions of essential systems, such as payments and
Internet applications. Consolidating these systems at the corporate level can bring
substantial savings and make processes simpler and more efficient.
Encourage reuse. Too many companies spend precious IT resources reinventing the
wheel. A serious review of the existing project portfolio will probably uncover a number
of opportunities to reuse existing solutions and build a common repository of services
and solutions.

6. Business innovation
IT as business enabler. In times of crisis, companies must consider transforming or
even completely reinventing themselves. IT can play a central role in implementing big
changes in the way they operate and bring products or services to market.
Shape the future. New tools and processes can accelerate product development, and
profitable niches in declining markets, and increase productivity.
Big data. Innovating new business models, products, and services
Big data enables companies to create new products and services, enhance existing
ones, and invent entirely new business models.
