Value Assessment Program
Reducing operation costs and increasing ROI
IONA Value Assessments are validated by the successes of IONA customers. IONA customers - including Raymond James & Associates, Nokia, Zurich Insurance, Ericsson and Credit Suisse - worked with IONA to identify repeatable areas and best practices to streamline processes and reduce the costs of IT operations.
Specific areas for examination include:
- Cost Reduction Strategies - IONA directly impacts the cost of IT operations by identifying cost reduction opportunities in the areas of systems integration, system consolidation and IT work models
- Business Agility Strategies - IONA increases business agility through business process automation, improved asset management and controlled outsourcing to increase revenue derived from existing IT assets
- Time-to-Market Strategies - IONA determines how to maximize developer productivity and system reuse to increase the delivery of revenue-producing services
