The situation:

Our client, a DAX company, wanted to restructure the globally scattered IT department of one of the company’s division in order to minimize costs. The process would be complex and lengthy and, in addition, it would be difficult to anticipate future monthly budgets. Our client wants to be able to analyze the department’s costs accurately and reliably but lacks cost planning tools. Optimizing reporting structures would also have to be key.

Our services:

tivona partners developed a multi-dimensional OLAP model to present potential cost savings visually. With the help of the data cube our team analyzed the department’s cost structures. The findings of any future analyses will be measured against a set of defined business criteria and entered into a database to control them.

Benefits for the client:

tivona partners created a customized solution that allows our client to understand and control the department’s overall cost structure. Answers can be obtained fast and it is not necessary to program a database. Our client gained clarity about the department’s cost structures for the first time and, as a result, will be able to reduce IT costs in the double-digit million range. Our client is now also in a position to calculate the effectiveness of the cost-saving measures.
