Money Talks
Save money by giving up expensive IT services that are not essential. And spend that time for something more business-critical.
Case example 
CIO John Russell was asked to lower the IT costs and to operate with fewer resources.
Easier said than done. You can’t just draw a few services out of the hat and decide you don’t need them any longer.
How do you know, which services could be cut?
One of the first things our CIO did is he properly defined the IT services – without knowing the services IT provides, it’s impossible to decide which ones you can give up.
Our forward thinking CIO had a Service Catalogue and he was able to find out, which services were no longer needed, underused, obsolete and therefore the most painless to eliminate. As a matter of fact, at the end, this CIO’s IT budget wasn’t cut as much as first anticipated, because the CIO was able to show his value to business with his service offering.
So this story had a happy ending!

Efecte Service Catalogue is the perfect tool, with which to start creating business driven IT operations. With it you define what IT does; you can describe your services, see their cost structures, and communicate them to the end users. Service Catalogue helps you to see which services are business-critical and which could be given up.
