Technology Cost Transformation

Technology Cost Transformation facilitates the identification, classification, reporting and ultimately the optimisation of technology costs; allowing enterprises to achieve and maintain cost competitiveness.

Technology cost management is a discipline which aims to ensure efficiency, agility, and competitiveness of the organisation, leading to cost frameworks which support Business growth and Risk appetite. ‘Winning firms’ will have optimised the supply side of technology costs, demonstrated the value of technology to stakeholders and have achieved symbiosis between technology assets and Business growth.

Our recent research has looked at how the best-of-breed companies have handled ‘Technology Costs in the New Normal' and how incorporating continuous cost optimisation has provided competitive advantage.
