Why IT spend is now a critical commercial enabler
As demand for IT projects and services increases, the ever changing landscape of digital business continues to challenge those charged with delivering it. With a multitude of digital business solutions available to solve everyday challenges and enable new opportunities, understanding how you can accelerate your company towards your desired ‘future state’ is critical.
The disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in our lifetime and is requiring nearly all organisations to reevaluate their financial outlook for the year(s) ahead. It therefore becomes more relevant to dive into the cost of IT to ensure the most efficient use of, and value gained from, the resources spent on IT, not just during the current period of volatility but also for the uncertain period ahead.
Organisations must have the ability to view their true cost of IT delivery, and accurately value their technology investment. It is accepted that establishing a robust ITFM process across an organisation, results in short-, medium-, and long-term benefits. Gartner and McKinsey for example, put the % savings anywhere from 5% to 20% of Spend Under Management.
Drive greater efficiency of IT spend
Being able to clearly demonstrate the value of your IT investment is a hot topic for CIOs, CFOs, and Tech Leaders across every industry and sector. As many businesses reimagine their operating models, cost bases, and investment approaches – transforming with fast, measurable results is critical.
Partnering with CDRU, experts in Cloud Execution and Transitions, Strategic Sourcing, Transformation and Spend Optimisation with fixed cost and outcome fee models, enables your business to adapt and accelerate out of COVID-19 with confidence.
CDRU establishes cost transparency against a baseline, which allows our customers to understand where costs are really going and fund future business needs.
Enabling a ‘cost vs. value’ view creates transparency and drives greater efficiency of spend by the IT function and the broader company alike. An example of the view of the true cost of IT delivery is shown below:
