Measurable Gains Assessment (MGA) from Hitachi Digital builds on digital economics, a proven framework for assessing the true costs and economic impacts of infrastructure. It bridges technology and value in the new business paradigm, taking a comprehensive, integrated approach to measuring what really matters. Digital economics is not limited to acquisition costs, but rather defines 34 different types of costs that can be included in the assessment. MGA enables you to understand and realize the economic impact of potential IT solutions, which is integral to technology-imperative deployments (see Figure 1)
Organizations opting for the Measurable Gains Assessment gain the following benefits:
Step 1
The journey begins with gaining an understanding of your IT infrastructure and operations to establish a baseline of facts on technology capability, infrastructure operations and service efficiency.
Step 2
With our diagnostic toolkit and benchmarking methods, the areas of opportunity and potential gains are identified and measured, and solution options evaluated.
Step 3
The resulting business case proves the viability of embarking on the journey with Hitachi and provides the foundation for contractually binding service level agreements (SLAs), efficiency gains and TCO savings.
Step 4
A management report is prepared for and discussed with all your key stakeholders in an executive review workshop, which will also serve as the forum for deciding the next courses of action.
Complete TCO: MGA ensures a review of both capital and operational expenditure, by selecting from 34 different cost categories.
Results driven: MGA produces tangible benefits, such as 30%+ cheaper and up to 50%+ faster operations, and substantial capacity utilization improvements.
Fast paced: MGA is an intensive, tightly controlled four-to-six week project that could be described as “four months’ work in four weeks.”
Execution ready: At the end of MGA, a transformation program is ready for execution with defined scope, schedule, costs and outcomes.
