Cost Reduction

At METHOD, we help you achieve genuine savings through the implementation of cost reduction solutions. Our Telecom and IT Expense Consultants provide rapid savings from re-negotiations with suppliers of telecommunications and other IT services, in addition to reducing costs through internal process improvement projects, which will help you to fund other business improvement projects or reduce your company expenditures.

With challenging targets to meet and customer needs a priority, most companies do not have the time or expertise to review and extract savings from third party spends. At METHOD, we offer services to simplify what is often a complex arena of multiple suppliers and their associated costs, incurred in different parts of a company.  By systematically analyzing spend levels against benchmarks we are able to provide a rapid assessment of cost reduction opportunities across areas such as:

• Telecommunications
• Data networks
• Printing and photocopying
• E-rate

Our methodology ensures that we deliver value to our clients in as simple and effective a way as possible. We believe working within a framework that creates mutual incentives is the most productive way to deliver results. For this reason, we mainly work on a risk/reward basis which reduces upfront costs of analysis, and our fees are paid from results.

Two of the areas where we have been delivering significant cost savings using the risk/reward approach is in the reduction of telephony and printing spend. With a number of our clients we have worked solely on sourcing strategy (i.e. supplier selection process) or reviewing internal processes to achieve cost savings.

Strategy and Technology

METHOD helps to better align IT with business needs, ensuring that strategic priorities are achieved in the most cost-effective manner. We work across areas such as IT strategy for applications, infrastructure and network strategies, technology design and delivery, and we ensure you get the best results from your existing IT investment.

Senior managers and business leaders are continually looking for ways to get better value from IT. METHOD works with you to understand your company’s business objectives and to develop an appropriate strategy and IT architecture to ensure you meet these goals.

METHOD helps drive strategic decision-making to exploit existing and new market opportunities. Our ultimate objectives are:

• Support companies in developing a vision about how future business opportunities can be supported by technology.
• Create improved dialog between business and technology teams through simple scenarios and use of common terms to enable improved innovation and responsiveness.

Link this vision and innovative thinking back through the technology function, so that IT becomes more aligned and responsive to business and market needs.
