Media & Entertainment CLIENT CASE STUDY
Cost reduction has become imperative for survival. The back-office applications of a multinational technology and media conglomerate require hundreds of resources to provide, monitor, and adjust customizable software solutions. Avasant created a strategy for our client to subcontract the management of existing applications to ensure lower cost and higher value solutions. We assisted with the strategy, selection of providers, and transition of these services. Our client has since realized a cost savings of 30%, ultimately supporting revenue generation and freeing up capital for increased investment in offerings.
