Consolidation & Optimization

Consolidation & Optimization services improve ICT Operations cost efficiency, reduce operational risks, improve operations quality and agility, and at the same time ensure better service responsiveness and operations business alignment.

The challenge

Business environments are changing rapidly. The pressure for change is everywhere. Businesses are implementing new technology to seek new business opportunities and this leads to an increased need for an adaptable and agile ICT infrastructure.
ICT organizations have difficulty in maintaining technology skills and competencies in the ever-changing world. As companies grow and acquisitions and mergers occur, the ICT infrastructure starts to corrupt and form sediment structures, which leads to inefficiency, lack of flexibility and escalating operations costs.

ACG’s solution

Traditionally, consolidation has been seen as a tool to improve the cost efficiency of deployed hardware. This is called physical consolidation.  Another approach is logical consolidation, which is related to software, processes, methods, people etc. The expected savings in logical consolidation are normally much bigger than in physical consolidation. These facts point out a reason to start thinking about consolidation as a holistic approach, which also paves the way for real time infrastructure and agile and adaptable ICT Operations.
ACG consolidation and optimization is a business-alignment approach, which has a clear start and end. It forms a number of phases which can be linked together, forming an end to end consolidation and optimization project or just a smaller separate step to, for example, find out the business reasons for a consolidation project.
ACG sees the consolidation and optimization as four phases: Initiation, Preparation, Execution and Completion. Each phase acts as an independent, highly standardized, product that has a predefined interface to other phases. Together these phases form a holistic approach that is easy to follow because of its outlined structure.
