Software is the lifeblood of a 21st-century organization; without the right software, a business cannot operate to its fullest potential.

Working together, we can minimize potential risks and costs associated with software infrastructure purchases and upgrades.

Infrastructure Optimization Model
| Basic |
- Most IT resources are used to keep IT functioning with reactive management
- Systems are complex, incompatible, expensive and do not promote services throughout the organization
- Organizations use few IT policies and automated processes
|
| Standardized |
- Organizations run somewhat effective, centralized IT departments
- IT systems remain complex, incompatible, expensive and run as standalone operations
- Basic information provided by a centralized IT group; pockets of automated services exist at business units
|
| Rationalized |
- Long-term strategy is developed jointly by business and IT groups
- IT policies are defined with business criteria and enforced with IT processes and technology
- Complexity is engineered out of IT processes, and application compatibility issues are minimal
- This is the most cost-effective infrastructure optimization state
|
| Dynamic |
- Cost savings are secondary to maximizing business agility, which is a source of competitive advantage
- Some decision making is decentralized to bring decisions closer to business processes
- IT systems are highly automated, flexible, and respond quickly to changing business conditions
- Organizations may choose not to implement certain IT best practices because they reduce business agility
