3 Concepts: Reduction of Cost + Enablement IT Optimization, is more than simply replacing smaller servers with fewer bigger servers. It is about simplifying and optimizing end-to-end IT infrastructure Servers Databases Applications Networks Systems management processes The goals of consolidation are Reduction of costs and complexity Delivering a rational, stable IT foundation that enables growth PAGE 3

4 Concepts: Reduction of Cost + Enablement Without the constraints of technology, skills or money, the ideal target environment would be: One hardware platform, potentially clustered for DR and HA One operating system, database, and middleware stack 3 instances of the OS: trusted network, DMZ and Test Why? Concentrate skills, and maximizes productivity Enable enforcement of best practices across all services Largely eliminate data integration issues Enable enterprise disaster recovery The ideal environment is almost never achieved IT Optimization strives to get as close to the ideal as possible, while balancing constraints PAGE 4

5 Concepts: Relevance of On Demand and eserver On Demand reflects IBM s execution on the strategy of leveraging intellectual property across the entire company IT Optimization consulting IP influences OnDemand vision On Demand vision dictates responses from product teams eserver product teams share and merge IP across product lines, to enable customers for IT Optimization PAGE 5

9 Correlating Company Performance with IT Budgets Revenue growth. In a 2002 Forrester survey of 122 IT executives, 22% said that their top priority is to help acquire and retain customers. Return on assets (ROA). A company s ability to generate profits from its existing asset base, including IT, is a good metric for a down economy. Cash-flow growth. IT helps convert receivables into cash, but CIOs are becoming increasingly creative at managing down discretionary spending by breaking projects into smaller chunks or exploring pay-bythe-drink outsourcing contracts.

15 Methodology Step 1: Discovery Identifying costs centers that we can optimize PAGE 15

16 Methodology Step 1: Discovery Recommending an alternate architecture that delivers a lower future cost PAGE 16

17 Methodology Step 1: Discovery Understanding IT requirements and issues Significant requirements for IT to adapt to new business initiatives or requirements Key IT priorities and concerns Budget not lining up with actuals Service level targets not being met Can t afford to implement what you need Project running late IT funding model Investment thresholds -ROI and payback pre-requisites Annual budget Department charge back PAGE 17

18 Methodology Step 2: Data Collection 1. Create an IT inventory A. Hardware, OS, middleware and application 1) Specification 2) Location 3) Utilization 4) Version and release level 5) Level of Service 6) Application status (sunset, static, growing) B. Investment plans 1) Upgrade, replace, maintain, remove 2) Value of upgrade or replace 3) Lease or capital asset 4) Support costs PAGE 18

19 Methodology Step 2: Data Collection (continued) 2. Understand topology A. Locations B. WAN variables 1)Connection type and capacity 2)Utilization rates 3)Rent and support costs 4)Infrastructure re-investment (all new routers?) C. LAN variables (same as B) 3. Document impact of growth factors A. New applications B. Mergers and acquisitions PAGE 19

20 Methodology Step 2: Data Collection (continued) 4. Document remaining cost variables A. IT staff 1) Number of employees 2) Categorize job responsibilities 3) Burdened cost for each category (salary times X.X) B. Downtime 1) Estimates or internal cost metrics 2) Penalties and business impact C. Licensing and Support 1) Document any agreements that don t fit within an individual server discussion Enterprise support agreements Enterprise software agreements PAGE 20

21 Methodology Step 3: Island Identification Process 1. Group servers into common sets of function A. Common applications: Domino, DB2, WebSphere B. Similar services: , database, Web, network 2. Identify islands of complexity 3. Prioritize based on preliminary estimate of ROI, effort and risk Some indications that an island is ripe for optimization A. Inefficiency: consuming resources at a rate that is disproportionate to return or alternatives B. Disruption: not meeting service level agreements C. Erosion: lack of currency and maintenance D. Duplication: delivering the same service multiple ways PAGE 21

22 Methodology Step 4: Infrastructure Redesign 1. Choose new architecture based on A. Ability to maximize ROI B. Risk associated with migration 2. Consider all costs associated with the new architecture A. Acquisition B. Migration C. Maintenance and support D. Space and environments E. Service levels F. Administrative G. LAN/WAN capacity PAGE 22

23 Methodology Step 4: Infrastructure Redesign A balanced perspective PAGE 23

24 Methodology Step 4: Infrastructure Redesign A balanced perspective PAGE 24

25 Methodology Step 5: Business Case 1. Contrast new cost structure to the existing solution, and calculate return on investment 2. Stress test assumptions 3. Review findings and assumptions with team 4. Incorporate feedback, and refine business case An iterative process PAGE 25

26 Methodology Step 6 and 7: Implementation and Monitoring 1. Implementation A. Strong emphasis on project management B. Frequent verification of progress, relative to expectations C.
