SAVINGS THROUGH ALIGNMENT OF DISPARATE TECHNOLOGIES

Strategy
Written By CAPTO

20% cost savings realized through alignment of disparate technologies

SITUATION

Capto frequently works with companies coming off rapid growth via acquisition that results in technology discord. In this case, a large national retailer was trying to untangle a web of hardware, software, and infrastructure of disparate technologies. The team members found themselves understaffed and undertrained, which resulted in sluggish response times to correct the inevitable problems. They were so busy putting out fires that they had no time for strategy.

THE SYNAPTIC SHIFT

For this retailer client, Capto conducted a thorough asset inventory and capacity review that resulted in the following service and maintenance strategy:

  • An inventory retirement plan

  • A new product purchase timeline

  • Service-level differentiation based on equipment criticality and advanced sparing techniques

  • RFP to bring additional savings

  • What are the next best step

 

RESULTS

  • Our strategy created a near-term savings of 20% on infrastructure maintenance

  • Our asset management process became an ongoing capability, ensuring alignment during future growth and acquisition
