Optisave is a team of Healthcare IT Subject Matter Experts. One of our specialized services is helping clients rationalize and optimize their software applications. We do this by analyzing their current installed software base, identifying opportunities for aggregation or elimination which can - in addition to reducing cost - improve IT effectiveness and efficiency.
All opportunities for improved effectiveness and efficiency will be achieved through a combination of strategies, with varying degrees of effort and timing.
Consolidation: Move multiple instances of applications (same or different vendor) performing the same function to a single, horizontally-integrated platform.
Optimization: Lower costs of products, maintenance and/or support, improve terms and add flexibility to agreements.
Standardization: Limit the number of vendors and leverage volume.
Commoditization: Select interchangeable solutions, regularly re-examine market conditions and move to lower cost solutions.
Outsourcing: Shift to lower-cost providers on- or off-shore, reducing staffing and/or infrastructure requirements.
Discontinuation: Eliminate multiple products or services performing identical functions
