Prioritize the top cost optimization initiatives for your Public Sector IT function

Looking to cut costs? Identify which costs to reduce and protect to drive efficiency, even during inflation.

Organizations that follow a structured cost optimization program are more likely to access increased funding, and demonstrate value from their investments.

The Gartner Cost Optimization Decision Framework helps you get an objective, visual representation of your cost optimization ideas early on — by the level of benefit, cost, time and mission risk.

Use this framework to:

  • Create a prioritized list of your most promising cost optimization opportunities
  • Assess the level of impact of your cost plans across key decision factors/criteria
  • Evaluate the trade-offs between the benefits, costs, risks, and viability of different cost control initiatives
  • Map cost reductions on a simple grid to show the trade-offs and help build buy-in for your cost reduction strategy.
