Total Cost       Management

Many organizations are seeing one-time benefits of cost-cutting initiatives. But how many are seeing annual benefits?

The answer is, not many.

Today, all financial organizations are searching for ways to reduce costs. But, though many costs throughout an organization might have already been slashed, the strategic advantages are nowhere to be found.

That’s because short-term cost take-out initiatives often result in reduced customer service and other operational risks.

On the other hand, long-term cost reduction, the kind that does not danger the organization, takes a partner with deep strategic experience.

At BearingPoint, we can show you a number of solutions that will help you strategically integrate cost cutting with the long-term vision of your organization. It’s called Total Cost Management.

Total Cost Management is a series of solutions designed to help financial services organizations align their cost cutting efforts with their strategic goals. It’s not cost-cutting the old fashioned way, without a clear understanding or direction. It’s reducing costs with a telescope and a compass.

• Accelerated Decommissioning solution seeks to rationalize and quickly retire legacy applications. These are often redundant or left over systems, the result of mergers or acquisitions of prior years. Accelerated Decommissioning helps mitigate the risks of operational disruption or derivative system impact that is inherent to application retirement.
• Data Center Consolidation, which seeks to consolidate IT Facilities across business units, countries and regions (if possible), and Strategic Performance Accelerator (SPA). SPA is a holistic methodology for identifying, validating, and developing cost take-out opportunities at the enterprise and business unit levels.

At BearingPoint, we’ll show you how our suite of Total Cost Management Solutions can help you take a more strategic view of cost reduction, a view that’s based on the philosophy that cost-cutting can be strategic and business empowering.
