Strategic Cost Optimization – TIO
Led Journey

2. Our unique approach for Datacenter Design & Architecture can effectively transform existing
technology, people, processes, and information system investments with renewed and improved
capabilities through:
 Enhance IT responsiveness as well as performance through modern IT infrastructure
approaches and technologies
 Streamline existing landscape and technology operation with an ability provide real-time
visibility into infrastructure performance
 Leverage emerging technologies to provide lasting value for the IT infrastructure
 Reduce IT infrastructure footprint and maintenance costs while improving quality
 Institutionalize knowledge and methods to enable continuous improvement, performance
gains, and consistency
Rationalization & Consolidation of IT Architecture
 Rationalization & Consolidation of Daman DC-DR Architecture would ensures:
o Scalable and modular architecture fit for growth
o Ability to differentiate the architecture building blocks requiring:
• Refresh
• Revamp
• Re-use
• Retire
o Infrastructure and operations groups are more likely to run at an optimum cost
level
o Enabling Agile and Flexibility required in the infrastructure
o Aligning ASSIMPLER, TOGAF, NIST framework
o Optimization of Operating Systems and Database licenses by adopting the right
model. This would impact the current IT spend outgo on license management
Ctrls Levers for Technology Transformation:

3. The picture below depicts the four quadrant lever of CtrlS Technology Transformation Services
adopted from it TIO framework.
I. Reduce Complexity:
Our experience has shown that most companies have an IT architecture, but few control it.
Instead, it grows organically, and the result is often duplicated systems, proliferating and
inconsistent data, and makeshift integration.
CtrlS would be understand the current complexities and challenges faced by Client through AS-
IS analysis study the IT Infrastructure landscape
CtrlS believes that complexity and cost spend in the IT Architecture landscape can be reduced
through:
 Adopting Standardization technologies
 Avoiding too many customizations
 IT Portfolio Rationalization
 Consolidation of database

4.  Defining Architecture Patterns with similar functionality for consolidation
II. Competitive Edge:
The past decade has been witness to unknown competition changing the market dynamics and
emerging as a game changer with enterprises having leading edge technologies which can
better engaged with B2C & B2B segments.
Technology relevance and adoption is a function of time and CtrlS would help Client in
evaluating and defining a Standard Operating Environment for assessing the future state
technology fitment in their IT Road-map. CtrlS would help Client in plotting the right set of
technologies to be put deployed in innovations bench of Client which can provide competitive
edge against market and emerging as early adopter of niche technologies.

III. Agility and Flexibility
The average lifetime of a company in the S&P 500 has fallen by 80 percent since 1937. In other
words, companies need to adapt fast to capitalize on business opportunities created by new
technologies at the price of losing their leadership position.

5. Thus, flexibility and agility have become ever present business goals that need to be supported
by the underlying IT architecture
Flexible: characterized by a ready capability to adapt to new, different, or changing
requirements.
Agile: marked by ready ability to move with quick easy grace.
Source: The online Merriam-Webster dictionary
Agility and Flexibility should be measured in a way that makes sense to business.
Considerations include the time and costs necessary to:
 Deploy a new service
 Roll out a new capability
 Eliminate an old service
 Reacting to changing business requirements
IV. Optimize Spend
CtrlS believes IT cost optimization forces future enterprises to wrestle with three key
challenges:
Governance:
 Running your IT organization like a business
 Need to control IT costs and transforming the business at the same time.
IT Budgets:
 Budget pressures continues the challenging market conditions
 A growing need to deliver more productivity with fewer resources and provide more cost
savings.
IT Cost Transparency:
 Need to improve level of IT transparency
 Demonstrating the value realized and perceived by business
