Why Outsource?
Ensure your Mainframe is Generating Value
Perhaps with more detail than ever before, IT departments must demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of their mainframe environment, and its short- and long-term structure and services that bring value, overall, to an organization.
Whether your company should outsource or not is a complex decision that must take into consideration numerous variables. Accelerated Outsourcing excels in helping companies assess their needs; understand their options; best decide whether or not they should outsource their mainframe operations; and, if outsourcing makes sense, how best to do it.
Outsourcing Helps your Mainframe Environment Generate Value:
• Reduced costs - Economies of scale allow vendors to spread hardware, software, personnel, power, infrastructure, and disaster recovery costs over multiple customers. Through this type of vendor distribution, our clients typically save 20-40% of their mainframe operating costs when they outsource.
• Turn a fixed cost into a variable cost - Companies can pay for mainframe processing just like they would pay a utility company for power. Through outsourcing, our clients only pay for what they use.
• Gain access to skilled people - Our clients are provided with access to a greater depth and variety of highly skilled technical expertise versus having to increase headcount to maintain the same level of access, skill, and talent.
• Relocation/Moving - Companies that are moving their facilities consider outsourcing due to the high costs of building a data center. It is much cheaper to outsource than to build a new data center.
• Focus - Companies that are moving off the mainframe to another platform can have their staff focus on the new application(s)/platform(s) rather than keeping the “old stuff” running each day.
Outsourcing helps you control mainframe costs, capacity, and support– thereby adding continual value to the organization.
