Infrastructure and IT Review Saves Client Money
As well as the huge financial reward, the organisation saw increased staff productivity
One of our clients, a professional body offering globally recognised qualifications in accounting and finance, enlisted PSP to review their IT infrastructure, aiming to improve operational efficiency, identify cost-saving opportunities, and streamline their overall IT framework.
Client Overview
One of our clients, a professional body offering globally recognised qualifications in accounting and finance, enlisted PSP to review their IT infrastructure, aiming to improve operational efficiency, identify cost-saving opportunities, and streamline their overall IT framework.
Challenge
The client's infrastructure had grown overly complex, with multiple servers, overlapping systems, and various third-party service contracts. The awarding body sought PSP’s expertise to simplify their IT environment, reduce unnecessary expenses, and establish a more efficient system.
Solution
PSP’s CTO led a detailed review of their IT systems, focusing on identifying inefficiencies. We found several underused or obsolete servers that could be decommissioned to cut maintenance costs. Additionally, we identified opportunities to consolidate third-party service contracts, simplifying vendor management and reducing costs. We proposed a phased plan to safely decommission redundant infrastructure, consolidate services, and negotiate better terms with core suppliers, ensuring a seamless transition without impacting daily operations.
Results
PSP achieved significant improvements in efficiency and cost reduction for the client. By eliminating unnecessary servers and consolidating systems, they now operate a more streamlined IT environment. The renegotiation of third-party contracts alone resulted in annual savings, allowing the organisation to reinvest these resources into strategic IT initiatives for future growth.
Conclusion
Optimising our client's IT infrastructure resulted in a more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective system that aligns with their long-term objectives. Our expertise in streamlining complex IT environments helped achieve substantial financial savings while preparing their infrastructure for future improvements. This project demonstrates PSP’s ability to deliver impactful IT solutions that enhance business performance and support sustainable growth.
