Value Assessment

Cost and value management of the IT services is a vast and important area. Value Management of IT Assets and infrastructure projects has always been a priority due to the limited budget allocations. InVal-IT is focusing on the Value assessment and Value Management side of technology investments and deployments. Please contact us to discuss how we can assist you.

Our approach includes:

The Industry best practices and available guidelines are obtained through memberships to expert organisations such as:

• Institute of Value Management Australia (IVMA)
• ISACA – Value IT
• Australian Value Management Standard

The InVal-IT Value Engagements can be arranged in one of the following engagement types:

ROI/TCO GUIDELINES

Our aim is to prepare ROI/TCO guidelines as prescriptive as possible for implementing specific IT solutions. The value assessment engagements typically require high level executive support and few weeks of analysis and delivery time depending upon the scale of the deployment.

There are already TCO calculators for specific technology value assessments such as the Citrix VDI TCO calculator or Microsoft Lync Business Value calculator. However these are broad tools and do not incorporate the existing conditions of the Our approach here is to merge the product, services and deployment knowledge with the target organisation’s needs and structure to achieve a more accurate estimation.

Specific workloads we can evaluate are; Private Cloud, VDI, Hybrid Cloud, Public cloud deployments.

VALUE ASSESSMENT FOR MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Using Industry standard assessment and discovery tools the existing infrastructure and IT assets are evaluated and a detailed report is presented at the end of the engagement.

The organisations should cooperate in deploying the assessment tools and providing user accounts, firewall rule exceptions under NDA to complete the engagement successfully.

VALUE MANAGEMENT OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Sometimes the organisations would need to understand if the performance, availability and chargeback models are adequate or can be improved without a big investment. Again, we’ll use the discovery tools and interviews to assess and report on the nominated workloads.
