New hardware and software is regularly offered and service providers adapt their services to the changing technical possibilities. This dynamic also entails risks.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for companies and public authorities to keep track of all possible options. At the same time, there is a need to identify the needs of the organisation and match them with the offerings in the market. Without the involvement of experts, mistakes are in fact pre-programmed.
With our support in demand planning, initially reported requirements are scrutinised and evaluated. Only the required hardware and software is procured and the necessary IT services are commissioned. Later, the quality of the demand planning is checked on the basis of the use of the hardware, software and IT services and optimised if necessary.
Our experts have many years of experience in identifying and assessing IT needs in SMEs, public authorities, family businesses and international corporations. The focus is on realising cost savings while reducing complexity for our clients.
With these steps we support you in determining your concrete IT needs:
We start by measuring the hardware and software in use. In doing so, we take into account the used, required and available functions of a manufacturer's products.
We then check the use of IT services and compare them with the agreed service levels.
Based on steps 1 and 2, it is now possible to carry out an assessment of the effective IT use, a comparison with the reported IT needs and a forecast of future needs. However, this also includes involving all stakeholders involved and jointly agreeing on the final needs.
Finally, we give suggestions for alternative scenarios (device configurations, software editions, service levels) to realise the requirements at lower costs.
We would be happy to advise you in a non-binding conversation about demand management and how we can support you. Just leave your contact details and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
