Efficient IT Assessment & Stamp of Approval
Enterprise IT can consume many resources, and our way of prioritizing and communicating that usage is through Efficient IT. Our Efficient IT Assessment is the first and only holistic evaluation of enterprise IT organizations, focused on reducing waste, improving financial controls and lowering carbon emissions.
The assessment evaluates more than just the technology itself. Our team also looks at management behaviors across leadership and the IT Infrastructure. Efficient IT is the industry’s only outcome-based evaluation, offering practical recommendations to leverage existing technologies and adopt new ones where they would lead to improvements. Training or changes to staff can also be an important part of Efficient IT.
