3. So what are some of our critical challenges? Let’s make this an inactive dialog!
8. More with Less versusLess with Less! More with Less Cost cutting measures Improved operational efficiencies and productivity 80/20 rule – 80% cost comes after the acquisition Less with Less – a reality check Reprioritization of capacity Modified objectives
9. More with Less Cost cutting measures TCO and ROI Do you take the time to make the calculations? Printing, print management and digital storage Dropbox, Skydrive, Google Docs, iCloud Remanufactured toner cartridges LCD projectors Lamp life and replacement costs –BEA/BEP Do you consider third party alternatives? Are you a brand name and store brand shopper? Do you consider reconditioned equipment? Do you consider third party warranties? Centralized and Contract purchasing NY State Contract vs. RFQ/RFP Competitive/Cooperative Bidding – Consortiums Energy Savings – Virtualization/VDI
10.
11. More with Less Improved operational efficiencies Have you standardized? Manage end-user preferences? Not meant to be a quality concession Are you running a sneaker-net tech support organization? Consider Remote Systems Management/Imaging systems – asset management, updates/patches, help desk support (ROI) Ticket tracking – service desk – metrics Self-service support – knowledge base Managing user expectations Virtualization – Server/Desktop/Application
12. More with Less Improved operational efficiencies Selected Outsourcing Local Integrators BOCES/RIC’s Managed & Hosted Services vs. Pay-as-you-go Administration Network/Systems Administration Help Desk/Tech Support Printers/Copiers Email and VoIP Student/College Interns/Substitutes
13. More with Less Improved operational efficiencies & cost reduction measures continued Software Applications – are you having the conversations? Negotiations Revised SLA’s Microsoft’s EES Program – details coming Application virtualization – buy only what you need! The Cloud, SAS, SAP (Cloud can=Cash Flow) Free products – let’s talk! Multi-year contracts
15. Less with Less The reality check – let’s state the obvious! “At some point we need to come to the realization that we may have to live with the fact that we can no longer afford the life style we were accustomed to!” Sal Covey would say put first things first! "What gets measured is what gets done" is an old business maxim that's as relevant today as ever. “Measure what matters” is also a frequency used term today, data helps us prioritize decisions in these difficult times
16. A simple but powerful exampleof a recent data driven decision…
17. Academic Volume Licensing Options Subscription Enrollments Under The Campus And School Agreement Open License for Academic Select Plus for Academic School Enrollment Campus Enrollment Enrollment for Education Solutions
18. Customize Your Desktop With Two Platform Product Options Professional Desktop Platform Suite Enterprise Desktop Platform Suite With EES you can customize your desktop by selecting individual platform products, including individual CAL Suite components, OR license a desktop platform suite, which combines your Windows upgrade, Office, and CAL Suite licenses into one convenient SKU for greater cost savings. EES Desktop Platform products whether licensed individually or as a suite, must be licensed organization wide based on your full time equivalent (FTE) count.
19. Client ML Core Infrastructure Business Productivity Infrastructure Desktop and Device Management Enterprise Search Business Intelligence Security Incident, Problem, and Change Management Collaboration Unified Communications Access Management Enterprise Content Management Data Protection and Recovery Plumbing for Business Plumbing for IT ECAL Suite in 2010
20. Let’s pause and bring it all together… How do we start? A good overall SWOT analysis will allow us to develop or revise our current technology plan. We may have to take a different strategic approach than when the plan was last updated. After all, any good plan needs to be a dynamic instrument. Alternate funding sources Are you maximizing your e-Rate Have you considered applying for a grant/s Engage Local Businesses PTO/PTSO/PTA – projectors, document cameras, etc. Creative programs – Scholastic Book Fairs -Smartboards NYSERTA rebates – virtualization projects A final word. Any questions?
21. One of my favorite quotes… “We cannot become what we would like to be by remaining what we are” Max DePree
