How to Reduce Infrastructure & Operation Costs?
Postpone Non-Critical Key Initiatives:
Business leaders need to ask themselves these three questions: Does the I&O key initiative hold up to the organizations high priority business goal in a short term? Will the I&O key initiative lower the I&O cost structure in a pre-specified time frame? Will the I&O key initiative lower the risk by upgrading I&O to sustain sever performance decline? Thus, business leaders need to rethink the key initiatives base on the short term priorities.
Re-Evaluate Networking Costs:
When it comes to I&O spending, setting up data centers and networking claims the major portion of the pie. Half of the networking costs go to the telecom service provider and thus businesses need to negotiate the contracts to ensure that the rates offered by the preferred telecom provider are market-based. Also, essential steps can be taken to optimize the networking costs by refining the design structure and the network lay outs.
