tcs point of view session - optimize by dr. jeffrey tew, chief scientist, tcs
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.TRANSCRIPT

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

Optimizing IT: The TCS Way
1 Understand demand Combine TCS’ end-to-end services understanding with analytics
2Characterize supply Learn from vast experience in traditional supply-chain management Standardized catalogue of products and services
3 Automate optimization planning Virtual prototyping of IT

Automating Optimization Planning
Key Idea: “Virtual prototyping of IT” (like manufacturing)
TCS eTransformTM platform: Automated, fit-for-purpose derivation of optimization plan
Benefits Speed and accuracy of planning Evolvability: Rapid adaptation of optimization plan to accommodate emerging conditions
