TCS Point of View Session - Optimize by Dr. Jeffrey Tew, Chief Scientist, TCS

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Operating under increasing constraints, CIOs need to have their resources working optimally — that is "faster", "more reliably", with added complexity and functionalities with reduced costs. Get new ideas on how "information optimization" can enable "resource optimization" without stretching the budget.

Understanding “Optimize”

Optimize = Address the mismatch between demand and supplyMatching supply to demand Lower cost, greater stability, better quality

What is it?

Key driver: Change (expected or unexpected)

Why is it required?

Demand ChangesTriggered by business

Supply ChangesTriggered by environment and technology

Levers: Right-size, Right-source, Reengineer, Standardize, Share

How is it done?

Optimize Examples

Demand Changes

Merger and acquisition Reengineer(e.g., IT rationalization and simplification)

Variation in workload Right-size and right-source(e.g., Construction of a hybrid cloud)

Reduction in IT budget Standardize, right-size/source, reengineer, share(e.g., Optimize people, process and technology)

Supply Changes

Emergence of new products and service providers (e.g., IaaS, PaaS and SaaS solutions)

Reengineer(e.g., Technology and services transformation)

Optimization Challenges

Understanding demand: Lack of end-to-end transparency Silo-based understanding Silos: Business vs. IT vs. Infrastructure; CTB vs. RTB

Supply diversity: Too many, rapidly changing solution options Characterized by constraints, costs, benefits, risks, side-effects No-one-size-fits-all; Difficulties in deriving a custom solution

Heavy reliance on tacit knowledge, intuition and experience People dependent; Variable quality; Low agility
