| Virtusa’s platforming approach to custom software development directly addresses some of the toughest challenges faced by a CIO aspiring to reduce the IT total cost of ownership (TCO) and configure applications to support real business agility |
| |
| Our Productization methodology enables enterprises to create and consolidate technology assets into Organization Specific Platforms (OSPs) that are leveraged across the enterprise to support decision making with common services and unified views of the business. |
| |
| Platforming Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) |
Platforming can reduce both the immediate and downstream costs of software development and maintenance, thus lowering the TCO in multiple ways:
- Development Cost: Efficiencies gained due to enhanced software reuse reduce the cost of current and future development
- Maintenance Cost: IT consolidation decreases long term deployment and maintenance costs
- Opportunity Cost: IT staff is freed up from the inefficiency of reinventing common technology services every time, and then maintaining redundant code over its useful life
- Lower Risk: OSPs lower execution risk by providing more predictability and pervasive asset reuse
|
| Platforming Benefits Beyond TCO |
| The platforming value proposition goes well beyond cost savings, since it allows companies to accelerate revenue growth through more agile introduction of new products and services. |
