Here are a few ways in which you can restrict your costs;

 

  • Move to shared services. In other words, consolidate things like help desk into one group that services the entire company.

 

  • Don't ignore "unmanaged" costs like printers or data center power

 

  • Eliminate unused software and modules.

 

  • Consider buying a videoconferencing unit rather than constantly renting.

 

  • Where possible, use the Internet as a replacement for expensive WAN transport services.

 

  • Defer moving to Vista. If your PC hardware is holding up, consider sticking with it another year.

 

  • Consolidate and virtualize servers.

 

  • Reduce storage costs via data deduplication and other methods.

 

  • Harvest unused software licenses and reuse them when a new employee makes a request.

 

  • Deploy IP telephony and VoIP as a way of cutting costs for moves, adds and changes. 

I hope this will help you in reducing down your costs and making your IT infrastructure much more cost effective.
