IT COST REVIEW / PRACTICAL SAVINGS

Driving costs down.
Make your IT budget go further.

Are you paying more than you need to for your IT? Elegant IT reviews your infrastructure, contracts, software and hardware costs to identify potential savings and recommend practical changes.

Understand your spend. Find savings. Choose your next step.Fixed-price or percentage-of-savings options

ONE FOCUSED SERVICE

A clear view of what
your IT really costs.

Technology spending can become difficult to track as contracts renew, new software is added and equipment changes. We bring the costs together and look at whether they still match what your business needs.

You receive a review of the agreed areas, suggested savings and an explanation of what implementing each recommendation would involve.

What we review

  • IT infrastructure: how your systems are configured, used and supported
  • Contracts: services, renewal dates, pricing and overlapping provision
  • Software: licences, subscriptions, usage and duplicated tools
  • Hardware: equipment costs, suitability and replacement plans

We agree the scope with you before the review begins.

FROM REVIEW TO ACTION

Recommendations you can make decisions on.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Establish the starting point

Review the agreed invoices, contracts, asset information and software usage. Build a picture of your current costs and business requirements.

02 / RECOMMEND

Identify potential savings

Highlight opportunities, estimate the savings and explain any implementation costs, dependencies or trade-offs.

03 / DECIDE

Choose what to change

You decide which recommendations to follow. We can discuss implementation help and, where agreed, measure the savings achieved.

TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH US

Choose the pricing approach that fits.

OPTION 01 / FIXED PRICE

A clear fee for the review

We agree a fixed price for a defined review scope before work starts. You receive the findings and recommendations, then decide which changes to make.

Any additional implementation work is scoped and priced separately.

OPTION 02 / PERCENTAGE OF SAVINGS

A fee linked to savings achieved

We can agree a fee based on a percentage of the savings achieved when you follow our advice.

Before work begins, we agree the percentage, the baseline costs, the measurement period and how implementation costs affect the savings calculation.

The pricing arrangement and payment terms are agreed before the review. Potential savings depend on your existing costs and the recommendations you choose to implement.

SAVINGS WITH A PURPOSE

Spend less where you can.
Keep what your business needs.

We consider service continuity, security and usability alongside cost. A cheaper option only makes sense if it remains suitable for your business.

Our recommendations distinguish recurring savings from one-off reductions and show the relevant costs of making a change.

Examples of opportunities to investigate

  • Unused or overlapping software subscriptions
  • Licences that no longer match team requirements
  • Contracts worth reviewing before renewal
  • Infrastructure that could be used more efficiently
  • Hardware purchasing or replacement plans that could be improved

These are areas to assess, rather than promised savings.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Before we review your costs.

What information will you need?

Typically, recent IT invoices, relevant contracts, software subscription and licence details, and an overview of your infrastructure and hardware. We agree what is needed for your review.

Do we have to follow your recommendations?

No. You choose which changes to implement. With percentage-of-savings pricing, we agree how the fee applies to savings achieved through the recommendations you follow.

How is the percentage-of-savings fee calculated?

We agree the percentage and calculation before starting. This includes the baseline, the period measured, the costs included and how savings attributable to our advice will be verified.

Can you help put the recommendations into practice?

Yes, we can discuss implementation support. Any work and associated fees are agreed separately so you can assess the full cost of a change.

Can you guarantee savings?

The review identifies opportunities based on your current setup. The savings available and achieved depend on your contracts, requirements and the changes implemented; we do not promise a fixed saving before assessing them.
