Consolidation and virtualisation projects have the potential to bring your organisation substantial cost savings. But these undertakings demand a clear picture of exactly where your savings will come from – and which specific opportunities are likely to deliver the best short-term and long-term business returns.
Before embarking on your new initiative, you need a solid ROI analysis for sound decision-making. Yet few companies these days have the time, resources or data to develop the necessary business case. Self-service ROI calculators also lack the required accuracy and level of detail project sponsors and CFOs are looking for.
Drawing on HP's experience in delivering thousands of consolidation and virtualisation projects, and building business cases for our own data centre consolidation; we offer a range of services to help you:
Rapid Opportunity Analysis
A recommended next step for participants in an HP Data Centre Transformation Experience Workshop (PDF), the Rapid Opportunity Analysis lets you quickly identify data centre projects that align with your business goals – and which deliver the greatest benefits.
Rapid ROI Analysis
Gauge the ROI of a specific project without undertaking a lengthy data and environmental analysis. Rapid ROI Analysis utilises industry-average data or data which you provide, typically focusing on a select set of data centre optimisation areas: servers, storage, facilities, consolidation or virtualisation.
Armed with a solid financial business case and in-depth analysis, you can confidently evaluate and justify key technology investments for faster, better decision-making.
An HP business consultant works closely with you to create an inventory of assets, define a financial analysis framework and assess underlying assumptions of projected scenarios. You will have a clear picture of all relevant costs and benefits for infrastructure improvements, including amortised hardware and software capital investment, as well as for consulting, training, support and maintenance contracts.
