Cost vs Benefit analysis and metrics for measuring
Budgetary approval can be difficult as some finance executives have a limited understanding of the technology space. The most effective budgets are transparent and explain how value will be delivered to the business over a period of time, including a clear return to the organization and payback period for completing the effort.
​
Obtaining costs such as software licenses, hosting solutions, hardware, implementation, data migration, training, change management, consultants, support and other contingencies is no simple task when you are running an IT organization. Our team is skilled at properly aligning such costs into a project timeline that presents clearly and credibly to your executive team.
​Similarly, creating or updating your annual IT budget has its own set of demands. Oftentimes organizations find themselves over spending due to siloed business units or failing to govern their technology spend. Leverage Eighty-Twenty Group's depth and experience in the technology space to help you assess and perhaps consolidate spend, understand potential impact of emerging technologies and how they may impact your overall strategy and budget.

Business Recovery
Possibly one of the most vulnerable times for any organization should they be the unfortunate victim of a ransomware attack. Time is of the essence and depending on the impact of the attack can often force an organization to close for good. This also opens the door to experts taking advantage of your situation and failing to represent your best interests: maintaining your employees, earning revenue and keeping your business open. Ransomware attacks are becoming more frequent and often times the severity of the attack is withheld from public knowledge, in addition to the attack itself.
​
Eighty-Twenty Group recognizes the complexities and sensitive nature when dealing with insurance carriers, forensic attorneys and analysts, negotiators and even the threat actors during this time. We will help build an expert response and recovery team that understands infrastructure, security, end-points, applications and the business processes in between.
Eighty-Twenty Group's crisis leadership, alignment of focused partners, and structured process is critical to the response and recovery process. We are your trusted advocates and advisors who will deliver results through a cost-effective management solution.
