Enterprise Assets Optimization 

A significant challenge to Federal Government CIO’s is to decrease the complexity of managing software at the enterprise level, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership for COTS and GOTS Enterprise software products and tools.  It is therefore essential to simplify the Enterprise software environment by optimizing the organization’s software portfolio. The resultant benefits include several key outcomes for the Federal Agencies:
  • Better alignment with the overall mission and IT strategy
  • A reduction in costs through consolidation / reduction of products
  • Streamlined software acquisition and cost savings by negotiating enterprise licensing agreements with vendors
  • Standardized processes for Enterprise-level software evaluation and approval
  • Workforce optimization through implementation of approved / recommended software vendors and products
JBS Group team has deep experience with practical strategies of an IT software streamlining process, its execution methodology and framework, key execution challenges, and the benefits derived from implementing an agency-wide repeatable software management process. We act as a tip-of-the-spear in providing guidance and architecture support for successful execution. 
The MEGABYTE Act
JBS Group also assists Federal Agencies with recently passed MEGABYTE Act, which  requires CIOs to inventory 80 percent of software license spending and enterprise licenses, regularly track and maintain licenses, and adopt KPI’s such as software usage data to make cost-effective decisions.
