New LinkedIn Group for reducing IT and application costs for CIOs and key staff

Software Value Optimisation launches a new LinkedIn Group aimed at CIOs / CFOs / Solution Architects / Commercial teams that covers reducing IT and application costs. The group and content can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8550131

(firmenpresse) - CIOs / CFOs / Solution Architects / Commercial teams looking for the latest information on reducing IT and application costs are invited to subscribe to the all-new LinkedIn Group. This new group promises to provide expert guidance and information on reducing IT and application costs, on a regular basis.

This group was created specifically for those responsible for reducing the costs of delivering IT applications and the group welcomes input on which topics to explore.

Steve Butler, Founder of Software Value Optimisation said: "This group helps CIOs and others charged with getting value for money by sharing their experiences and successes in reducing costs. It features many examples that identify opportunities to deliver IT more effectively and reduce waste. It also helps to mitigate the impact of audits, which are often the biggest source of unplanned expenditure."

Steve goes on to say: "Our feedback and that of industry research organisations such as Forrester, shows that staggering amounts of money are wasted on shelfware and non-optimised software deployment. The figure can be as high as 50% of the software budget. The aim of the new group is helping senior staff to avoid these pitfalls by learning from the experiences of other experts".

Reducing the costs of IT applications and services is potentially one of the easiest ways to reduce IT expenditure without negatively impacting service levels. The licencing costs of software can vary by as much as 400% depending on the underlying infrastructure. However, this can also be used to identify cheaper ways to run software.

Another overlooked factor is the risk of software audits. Flexera reported that the average bill following an IT audit was $100,000. Some unlucky organisations have received bills for $1,000,000 and higher. Reducing the risks and impact of software audits is a key topic of the group. Recent reports show that vendors are getting ever more aggressive in the use of auditing to increase their revenues. As a result, organisations need to protect themselves from predatory vendors.
