IT AS A SERVICE FOR A PROJECT
About

- Need IT resources for a project?
- Existing IT resources are not sufficient enough for testing a new system?
- There are IT systems that you do not use 24/7?
 

Those are the typical situations when we recommend considering procuring IT as a service for a temporary project.

Benefits

The investments in hardware and depreciation costs are not incurred. Capital expenditures are replaced by operational expenditures. While procuring IT services you pay for the amount of resources that you have actually used at the given time. There is no need for investments neither into software nor hardware trying to foresee the future needs. And after those needs become irrelevant there is no issue of using those redundant resources effectively.
 

Flexibility. The scope of service can be altered according to the needs, progress and terms of the project (scope of the service can be scaled down up to one hour).
 

Short implementation time. There is no delay and expenditure due to the procurement and installation of IT infrastructure, training of IT specialists, therefore the project can be started in shorter time. More... 

Customer experience

The company that provides Microsoft SharePoint programming services has developed several applications. Before procuring software solutions company’s customers are provided with the possibility to connect and test the applications online. Testing usually takes several weeks.
 

The company employs a team of programmers that uses many servers for the development and testing. Although the company has purchased several powerful servers, sometimes their capacity is not sufficient enough for the internal and external testing environments. The company is considering the purchase of new equipment but is in doubt whether the new equipment will be exploited effectively.
 

This company has been proposed using dynamic IT services that allow procuring IT resources as a service for a short period. The company was provided with the access to IT resource management self-service portal where its employees can create and manage virtual machines.
 

Use of virtual machines is charged on an hourly rate basis, therefore it is possible to “buy” as much time as it is needed for testing or other temporary project. The company also does not need to care about operational system licenses as they are provided as a service together with the virtual machine. 
 

The company in this example uses 12 to 15 virtual machines with different versions of Windows Server simultaneously. The fee for these services ranges from 120 Litas to 1500 Litas per month, depending on the duration of projects.

Technical solution

All dynamic IT services solutions are based on VmWare virtualization platform. After the contract is signed the customer is provided with the access to IT resource management self-service portal.
 

Customers can create and delete virtual servers, install software and systems, change parameters of the virtual server by themselves. More...
