We begin with the three main cost components of an IT organization. Your biggest spend of course
is people. We
Analyze your organizational structure for effectiveness, overlap and inefficiencies
Conduct job description reviews to ensure that the human IT components are properly
aligned, properly skilled and properly managed
Align the organizational structure with IT best practices, including analysis of outsourcing
opportunities that deserve further investigation
The result is a lean, operationally efficient IT group. After people, most of your budget goes to
infrastructure investment, services costs, maintenance and support. Therefore we assess your
operational practices,
Infrastructure, including data center, network, compute, storage and desktop environments
On-going monthly and yearly costs for hosting, cloud services, wireless and wide-areanetwork (WAN) connectivity
Maintenance and support programs
Operational process and procedures (aligned with ITIL V3 Best Practices)
Operational process improvement programs (utilizing Six Sigma)
The result is rationalized IT investments with appropriate implementation road maps.
With a MinervaWorks engagement, you get an objective assessment of your IT operation,
