Stratford upon Avon, United Kingdom - January 25, 2017 /PressCable/ —
Author Steve Butler is launching his brand new book, “The Great Software Heist”. The book is set to go live on January 27th, available via Amazon and is expected to become a big hit with IT directors and CIOs looking to reduce their IT expenditure.
More information on the book can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Software-Heist-software-organisation/dp/1541148169/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484767509&sr=1-1&keywords=the+great+software+heist
The book was written to help reduce the costs of running software. It is based on over 10 years’ experience of finding & realising savings, putting together large outsourcing deals and designing IT solutions.
The book offers a comprehensive view of the many areas where savings can be achieved.
A recent report by the 1E group identified that US and UK organisations on average waste $247 dollars per employee on software.
Software Value’s Optimisation’s 2016 report estimated that as much as 50% of an organisation’s expenditure on deploying and running software is wasted.
As an example of the overall potential, readers will likely find a particular interest in an organisation that saved 25% of its IT budget by following this approach.
The book’s cover art was created by Debbie O’Byrne and the book is released via Amazon.
Steve specialises in reducing the running and deployment costs of software in large organisations. He has delivered some spectacular savings around £1.4M and 25% of the total IT Budget for one client. Another major insurer implemented just 2 steps of his 6-step process and saved £1M per annum and received a cheque for £100K in under 6 weeks.
Following many years of implementing new systems for major organisations, Steve became increasingly frustrated by the high costs of deploying and running software, Vendor’s proposing configurations that maximised their profit and the limited benefits that many high-ticket software packages actually delivered.
The costs of implementing software can vary by as much as 400% depending on the environment and implementation decisions. Even after deployment, it is still possible to reduce these costs, generating significant annualised savings.
Working with a number of high profile Clients, Steve created a repeatable process for assessing, optimising and reducing application costs over many industries. This approach is called “Software Value Optimisation
In a recent interview, the author made a point of thanking his clients for their part in the creation of the book, saying: “Without them it would never have come together”
