Prioritise the top cost optimisation initiatives for your IT function

Looking to cut costs? Instead identify where to reduce, protect and invest to drive growth and efficiency.

Organisations that follow a structured cost optimisation program are more likely to access increased funding, and demonstrate value from their investments.

The Gartner Cost Optimisation Decision Framework helps you prioritise cost optimisation opportunities by value, not just the potential to reduce spending.

Use this framework to:

  • Create a prioritised list of your most promising cost optimisation opportunities
  • Assess the level of impact of your cost plans across key decision factors/criteria
  • Evaluate the trade-offs between the benefits, costs, risks, and viability of different cost control initiatives
  • Map cost reductions on a simple grid to show the trade-offs and help build buy-in for your cost reduction strategy
