System Rationalisation

Zymbian Hand Shake

What is System Rationalisation?

System Rationalisation is the removal of redundant hardware, software and processes that exist in most IT infrastructure sites as a result of legacy systems, home-grown middleware solutions and staff turnover. In our experience, most organisations have a number of applications and databases that are simply left around when people leave, or new systems are introduced. These systems are left running, because none of the current IT staff know anything about them and it's deemed as 'too risky' to turn them off as the consequences are unknown. The easy option is to leave them alone, but this is not the most cost effective option.

How do we achieve this?

The only way to remove redundancy in the IT Infrastructure is to perform analysis on the existing implementation to identify the rationalisation candidates. Zymbian follow the Gartner and Microsoft Model for IT Maturity and we will identify ways to make the IT infrastructure more dynamic.

What are the benefits?

The following benefits are typical of an environment where System Rationalisation has been applied: -

  • A reduction in the number of physical servers
  • A reduction in the number of databases
  • A reduction in the number of applications
  • A reduction in the operational expenditure for hardware
  • A reduction in the operational expenditure for licences
  • A reduction in the operational expenditure for staffing costs
  • A reduction in energy consumption
