ITPMG Announces New Consulting Service Offering
Bethel, CT, March 23, 2009… ITPMG (www.itpmg.com), a leading edge on-demand consulting services
company that specializes in personalized service that improves company performance announced today a new
service offering designed to reduce IT costs in your organization.
Most IT organizations have already taken steps to reduce their 2009 budgets. As the business climate continues to
become more challenging, it is likely that they will need to identify and deliver even more reductions. Other
companies have cut so deeply that they risk delivering service levels that are required to adequately support the
business.
In our review of how companies reduce IT costs, we have determined that there are many strategies that
organizations can apply, ranging from simple "Expense Reduction" actions (e.g., eliminate travel, training,
consultants, etc.) to significant "Cost Restructuring" initiatives. The opportunities that will be viable for each
organization will be a function of several factors:
· Their business and IT strategies
· Current IT architecture and capabilities
· Cost reduction targets and timeframe
· What has already been accomplished
· Their ability to invest money to reap additional savings.
Today, ITPMG is pleased to announce its new IT Cost Reduction offering that will give our clients a proven
approach for delivering required IT services as cost effectively as possible. We focus on ensuring that planned IT
cost reduction opportunities are fully monetized and deliver the forecasted savings.
Description:
The IT Cost Reduction offering provides a "Play Book" process that leverages its three phases to help clients
develop and execute strategies for effective, sustainable IT cost reduction. The "Play Book" process and key
deliverables are outlined below:
IT Cost Reduction Calibration Phase:
During the IT Cost Reduction Calibration phase, we work with our clients to analyze their current and projected IT
spending, understand the cost reduction actions that have already been taken and are underway and assess the
approach being taken to manage the actions to deliver committed cost reductions. We will then identify and size
additional potential IT cost reduction opportunities and work to set revised overall cost reduction targets.
Opportunity Analysis and Planning Phase:
During the Opportunity Analysis and Planning phase we work with our clients to complete the detailed analysis of
your current IT spending and to evaluate and verify the cost reduction opportunities identified in the Calibration
phase. We help establish the necessary program governance structures, processes, and team structure required to
achieve true savings. We facilitate the process for achieving the targeted results in the desired timeframes. The
key outcome of this phase is an agreed to, detailed, resource-loaded plan for achieving the target cost
reductions.
Cost Reduction Program Execution:
It is one thing to identify cost reduction opportunities and set targets. It is more difficult to actually deliver and
measure the savings. We work with our clients to manage and guide their teams in executing the IT cost reduction
programs.
Our experienced consultants have identified and delivered dramatic reductions in costs for large and small IT
organizations in a variety of industries. Based on this experience we have developed an effective, comprehensive
approach to IT Cost Reduction that will help clients quickly identify additional opportunities to reduce IT spending,
and then help them define and execute the projects that will be required to actually achieve the target savings.
This new service offering is an extension of ITPMG's current innovative client solutions in the area of IT Strategy
and Plan Review. It is our intent to continue to grow our business and increase our on-demand personalized client
support solutions such as this new service offering. This is just the newest example of our commitment to helping
our clients transform themselves into a high performance business.
