The value of IT is underestimated
IT environments that are becoming increasingly complex guarantee a consistent flow of data and business processes across departments and companies. Constant interaction between software and hardware components is making the administration of systems increasingly complex. Independent surveys estimate the losses from an IT failure at an average of 100,000 US dollars per hour. Nevertheless, systems must be kept running – they can't be switched off.
The value of IT is underestimated in many companies. Up to 80 percent of IT budgets is being spent on maintaining the status quo. Companies are complaining about excessive operating costs, insufficient support for business processes, and inadequate IT efficiency.
There is an increasing need to act due to:
-
Availability problems
-
Pressure on costs
-
Lack of personnel / employees spending too much time on routine tasks
- Tight project deadlines to implement new systems
Reducing operating costs puts companies in a position to free up funds for innovations, use such innovations to adapt to constantly changing market conditions, and assert themselves over the competition.
Goal |
Optimize business processes and operating costs
As is shown by an analysis by Meta Group Deutschland, the top priority for IT managers is to optimize operating costs and business processes. By specifically adapting IT to accommodate business processes, they hope to reduce operating costs while increasing the efficiency of IT.
Make the value of IT transparent
Many companies are paying increasing attention to identifying the operating costs that can be attributed to IT. By consolidating and optimizing IT, operating costs can be reduced while at the same time improving quality and increasing the benefits of IT environments. Companies need to make the value of their IT transparent.
Put IT budgets to optimum use
On average, overall IT costs make up between two and eight percent of total revenue.
As a result of the continuing economic malaise, increasing numbers of companies are being forced to cut their IT budgets.
Experience shows IT budgets to be made up as follows:
- 10 percent is attributed to innovation projects
- 30 percent is attributed to application operation
- 60 percent is attributed to technical operation
An effort needs to be made to restructure these budgets because, especially with regard to innovation and new implementation, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to make investments so that they are able to adjust to ever-changing market conditions. Investing in innovation is the only way for companies to boost and retain their competitive edge.
