Why implement Cost Controlling?
Different and increasingly complex technologies
IT tools continue to increase in number and complexity; a single IT Manager, however competent, cannot be highly specialized in all the required areas.
The cyber security challenge
Companies often find themselves in the difficult choice between equipping themselves with powerful, but expensive and sometimes ineffective security systems, or accepting greater risks of attack. Neither solution is correct.
Need to compete with quick responses
IT Managers often find themselves in the difficult position of having to make complex decisions but without the possibility of independent technical discussion. This leads to trusting suppliers without adequate control.
Difficulty in extricating onerous contracts
As IT services become increasingly more complex, the IT Manager finds himself faced with decisions that also lead to legal issues, with all the understandable difficulties involved.
Limited overview
Many IT decisions are based on the personal experience of each IT manager, without leveraging a broader perspective compared to best practices that have been successfully tested elsewhere.
Little time for internal IT to improve efficiency
The management of IT infrastructures becomes so complex that it requires compromise choices, however it is often possible to find more solid solutions that free up new resources without additional costs.
Evolution of remote-working
Particularly since post-Covid, many companies have irreversibly oriented themselves towards working partly remotely; this poses significant challenges to both the security and costs of the related infrastructure.
Regulatory framework (GDPR etc.)
European regulations on privacy, cookies and whistleblowing, among others, impose high IT requirements and harsh sanctions without adequate support, their implementation is often problematic.
Advantages of Cost Controlling
Concrete assistance to IT managers for technological comparison
Proposal of new and more efficient solutions
Comparison with many different business cases
Legal coordination for renegotiation of existing contracts
Direct True False support to facilitate system integration
A more organic overview of IT costs
How much does it cost?
Starting from zero! In fact, the savings often significantly exceed the consultancy costs. In particular:
the analysis or optimization phases are contracted by the hour or day;
a 20% fee is applied to the savings expected in the next 5 years, which however first absorbs the consultancy costs until they are eliminated, thus resulting in a potential net saving.
Frequently Aked Questions
Who is cost controlling aimed at? ↓
Our consultancy is aimed at corporate IT managers or business owners, to help them in the best choices for cost optimization, providing a broader vision based on multiple case studies.
What are the costs? ↓
They could be zero! After our initial analysis (use the online tool to calculate a forecast), we identify compressible costs and support you in implementation. Of the costs saved alone we receive a 20% commission for 5 years, but the commission first compensates for our previous consultancy, until it disappears to zero.
Am I obliged to follow the instructions provided? ↓
Absolutely not: this is why our time is paid by the hour; every decision is taken in full agreement with the company IT Manager or the owner.
Does the service replace an existing business? ↓
It depends on each company, but usually not: our consultancy is synergistic with the company IT manager and does not overlap with internal IT activities.
What are the benefits? ↓
Many, and among the main ones certainly the possibility of obtaining savings, making your structure more efficient, avoiding double costs and identifying new technologies that improve the company’s performance.
How is my data used? ↓
We are a Swiss company, a country that has made confidentiality and privacy a symbol. Although it is not privileged information like legal information, any company data remains strictly confidential for us.
How are commissions calculated? ↓
Once the actual savings have been identified, our commission is 20% of the lower overall expense for the next 5 years. But the commission balances our previous consultations first, so the entire process can truly cost less than zero.
Is the service oriented only to costs reduction?↓
No, in fact it may happen that in the face of cost reductions on some chapters there is a proposal to reinvest in new and more efficient technologies. Our primary objective is efficiency, not just cost compression.
