CIOs looking to establish better control over IT expenditures and better align business priorities to IT activity must take a closer look at their internal processes for maintaining existing applications. Status quo isn’t good enough anymore; the way in which organizations perform application maintenance is too inefficient and costly to continue.
Look at the following facts.
- As per 2006 Forrester Survey Companies expect to spend 80% — up from 2005’s 76% — of their overall IT spending to keep existing operations and maintenance in play, leaving only 20% for new development activity and project work
- In Forrester November Forester 2005 survey, it was found that at 38% of the average IT budget, staff costs are the largest single budgetary item, with 80% of that number — or more than 30% of the IT budget — funding salaries of staff performing ongoing operations and maintenance.
It is very clear that Offshoring is not a nice to have any more but an absolute imperative for CIOs looking to cut maintenance costs not sacrificing on the quality of course.
