TBM

ITSS provides the business optimisation experience to help your technology organisation implement the innovative practices and tools of  Technology Business Management (TBM); improving visibility and control of IT costs and investments.

We enable you to develop and drive your vision, manage the complex array of stakeholders, select and implement the right TBM management software and tools and manage the broader business change.

For a full overview of our TBM consulting service visit www.tbmtransform.com

Cost reduction initiatives are an essential component in driving company profitability and the IT budget is not exempt from scrutiny. Reducing or perhaps, more appropriately, optimising IT costs requires an expert eye to best uncover where costs can potentially be cut without creating unacceptable business risk.

The ITSS approach is driven by realisation of business value, not a particular technology or solution design. We focus on required business outcomes and while we offer expertise to help you implement the right enabling technology, our impact can be much broader.

Change you business

ITSS will work with you from the time a need for TBM is being considered or identified.

Our consultants bring their Board level and Senior Leadership experience, their understanding of your business sector or industry and a hands-on approach to initiate the change programme: form the
team, agree the objectives, and map the way forward.

Using proven change management techniques we can help your team identify the structural, business process and system changes to be addressed as part of a Business TBM Transformation and define the needs for a new TBM IT solution.

As a trusted TBM advisor we can help you consider, assess and select the correct software solution to realise your TBM goals.

As a partner of Apptio, the originators of the TBM concept and the leading IT solution on the market, we can help you form your team, implement the appropriate Apptio software and if you feel a cost effective, outsourced approach to ongoing TBM Office activities is right for you then we can offer that service

ITSS Services include:
• TBM readiness Pre-Assessments
• TBM solution selection
• Project and Change Management
• Apptio implementation services
• Outsourced ongoing TBM Office services

IT COST REDUCTION

Reducing or perhaps, more appropriately, optimising IT costs requires an expert eye to best uncover where costs can potentially be cut without creating unacceptable business risk.

Independent asessement of cost cutting options

ITSS provides the experience needed to uncover where costs might be cut. With no interest or agenda which ties us to particular technologies, systems, suppliers or a preference for internal staffing or external service options we are well placed to focus solely on the business need. At the same time we are also well placed to advise where there is under investment in IT and where false economies are being made.

Procurement from the market
ITSS procurement projects focus on delivering the same or better IT products or services at lower prices and comprise a clear and structured approach, with forensic analysis of the business IT costs and service levels that are in place and the business needs. We then source  lower cost supply options and monitor and audit that the expected savings are delivered.

These projects require minimal effort from our clients and where clear benchmarks can be established and agreed we can give our clients the option of transferring the risk of the initiative to us, paying our fees from the audited savings that are actually delivered.
