IT Cost Optimization

Reduce your IT costs while structuring sustainable governance.

Through a pragmatic approach, based on solid levers and market benchmarks, you achieve quick and sustainable gains while strengthening your Target Operating Model (TOM).

Focus: OPEX under pressure?

In 10–90 days: visibility on potential savings, 2–3 levers activated with no freeze or supplier conflict.

  • 12% OPEX reduced (real case) with zero disruption
  • Light governance & economic proof
  • Contracts reframed around outcome-based SLAs
