What’s Most Important for
Your Organization?

Before selecting an IT cost optimization partner, put your organization’s priorities in perspective:

  • Is cutting costs your top goal?
  • Do you need to drive forward digital transformation?
  • Are you trying to do more with less?
  • All of the above?

Every organization has its own set of IT objectives that help steer your decision about a partner. You should also compile a list of characteristics about your company:

  • Do you have highly complex IT projects to optimize?
  • Are you a large organization?
  • Are you looking for one-time results or long-term savings?
  • Do you need a partner with an industry specialty?
  • Do you have digital transformation efforts you haven’t been able to budget for or realize?
  • Do you have multiple locations or do business in multiple states/regions?
  • Are you operating legacy systems that require sunsetting?
  • Is your IT governance fragmented across locations or do you have centralized oversight?

Once you have the answers to these questions, you can more easily narrow down IT cost optimization partners using the following categories:

Why Do Healthcare IT Leaders Trust Profit Advisory Group?

We thought we had a handle on waste spending in the IT department, but it turns out there were several more opportunities in there — stuff from systems that were brought on before most of us hired in.
Procurement Advisor, Large US Healthcare System
($18 million saved)
We never could have pulled this off internally. They did an incredible job for us, so much so that we retained them for their ongoing services. The fact that their fees are funded by the savings they create makes this a total no-brainer.
Global CIO, Large Global Insurance Claims Processor
We hired Profit Advisory Group to come in and perform a telecommunications audit for us as we were preparing to change vendors after a colleague had referred them based on their work for his company. They uncovered a billing discrepancy centered around an obscure clause in our contract. They were able to work with our vendor to correct the error and we received a $78,000 refund from our carrier.
CEO, Prince Parker
