IT Resource and Strategy Consulting Executive Overview
- By streamlining IT applications portfolios, service providers can align their resources to be more in line with their corporate objectives, reduce IT complexity and optimize their IT resources for reinvestment into new business initatives.
- EDS' Communications IT Excellence solution provides you with prioritized recommendations on opportunities to replace, retire, transform or consolidate low-value applications.
- Using EDS' applications rationalization recommendations, service providers can eliminate low-value applications and maximize the business value of the applications portfolio.
Using EDS' patent pending methodology and standardized tool kit, EDS' industry team performs a systematic inventory of the client's application portfolio using the eTOM industry process model to catalog individual application's business process, lifecycle and strategic value.
From this analysis, EDS develops a rationalization strategy, transformation plan, implementation plan and cost benefit analysis that is packaged with a business case for the client.
Applications rationalization enhances the service provider's IT flexibility and reduce complexity by:
- Eliminating redundant applications by identifying overlapping functionality
- Sunseting applications that no longer provide significant return on investment
- Maximizing strategic use of most beneficial applications
- Leverage savings to fund new revenue generating initiatives
By proactively identifying, aligning and eliminating low value applications, EDS' IT Resource and Strategy Consulting Services helps service providers improve the business performance of their IT applications portfolios, reduce substantial IT maintenance and support costs, and target areas for increasing new business value.
