CIO Cost Control is Driven by Infrastructure
Management |
|
 In order to manage IT costs' effectively CIOs need to review their
existing IT operations with an eye towards
doing more for less. The first areas to
review are:
-
Utilization (Equipment and Personnel) - IT utilization
typically measures the capacity of the
physical hardware that an organization
is using to support its business.
Generally, the most common metric is
server utilization. Despite only using
a portion of the server resources,
organizations are still paying for and
supporting the entire device. The same
is true of personnel. Charge back
systems should be set to cover 100% of
the cost of all resources. If a CIO
sees that only 10% of a resource is
utilized then that can be a candidate
for consolidation.
-
End-user support
- Enterprises typically have an internal
help desk. Generally, this internal help
desk is responsible for supporting end
users' client devices. When IT budgets
get cut, one area that usually comes
under investigation is the internal help
desk. However, the internal help desk
can be essential to providing support
for the end users and marinating
employee productivity.
-
Maintenance and support budget - By far the largest
component of the IT operations budget is
for external support services. In many
cases, organizations are either under or
over supporting their IT environments
and adding additional costs.
