We examine your IT costs and identify savings potential – whether through shared services, increased transparency, or market price comparisons.
At the same time, our bimodal strategy ensures that outdated IT structures are efficiently dismantled without losing sight of the future – investments in AI, RPA, and digital business models remain an integral part.
Through the targeted combination of cost cutting, cost optimization, and value optimization, we enable companies to combine short-term savings with long-term competitiveness and innovative strength.

The growth rate of IT budgets will slow further to +4.3% in 2024, down from +8.9% in 2021.
CIOs are now even more challenged to combine increasing business demands with strict cost control.

A holistic approach is essential for sustainable cost and value transformation, as isolated cost-saving measures often only have short-term effects. To optimize costs efficiently, management, programs, and employees must all be involved.
Four key levers – efficiency baselining, plan development, implementation, and change communication – ensure long-term success.
Without clear governance and continuous adaptation, optimization measures quickly lose their effectiveness. Only through the interplay of strategic planning, agile implementation, and active change management can costs be reduced without jeopardizing the company's innovative strength.

Cost & Value Transformation Approach
Cost & Value Transformation helps companies sustainably optimize IT costs without compromising business value. We identify the deep-rooted issues impacting companies’ IT cost structures and implement cost transformation programs tailored to their strategic goals. This approach is based on the following five phases and various cost optimization levers.
cost optimization.
They help companies work more efficiently and cost-effectively. This includes optimizing IT contracts to negotiate better
terms and secure long-term savings. At the same time, technologies are analyzed specifically to make IT processes leaner
and more productive.
A close integration of business and IT creates synergies and leverages smart portfolio decisions for automated processes.
Ultimately, the digitalization of business processes promotes innovation and makes processes more efficient – for sustainable
cost savings and greater competitiveness.

The first phase lays the foundation for successful cost optimization. It involves defining objectives, identifying relevant
stakeholders, and reviewing available resources. Furthermore, a clear schedule and responsibility structure for the
subsequent process are established.

In this phase, IT performance is analyzed to identify areas with potential savings. This includes feedback from
stakeholders, benchmarking with competitors, and a detailed assessment of the cost structure. The focus is on
identifying cost factors that can be directly influenced.
ICO initiatives based on the areas.
Here, concrete optimization initiatives are derived for the identified IT areas. These are prioritized based on
financial impact, business value, risks, and feasibility. In addition, measurable success indicators are defined
to monitor progress and goal achievement.

In this phase, a detailed roadmap with timelines, resources, and responsibilities is created. It serves as an
implementation-oriented plan that is agreed upon with the Steering Committee. The roadmap is also
communicated to all relevant stakeholders to ensure acceptance and support.

The progress of the initiatives is regularly reviewed and compared with the defined success criteria. If
necessary, adjustments are made to the implementation plan. In addition, savings are documented,
stakeholder feedback is collected, and optimization measures are continuously developed to ensure
sustainable cost reduction.

Your benefits.

Optimized IT contract terms
Through targeted negotiations and renegotiations of IT contracts, companies secure the best prices and terms without compromising on quality. This leads to a sustainable reduction in unit costs and more efficient use of the IT budget.

More efficient IT use and cost reduction
By analyzing and optimizing the IT landscape, cost drivers can be identified and eliminated. Increased IT efficiency enables resource-efficient deployment of technologies, allowing companies to reduce their expenses while simultaneously improving IT performance.

Better coordination between business and IT
Close collaboration between IT and business promotes strategic portfolio decisions and the targeted use of cost-saving technologies. This not only improves IT efficiency but also accelerates business success.

Digital transformation as a growth driver
The introduction of new, digital business models enables scalable and innovative corporate development. Digitizing business processes creates automated workflows that reduce costs in the long term and increase competitiveness.
