Case Study: Posten Norge achieves significant IT cost savings with SMT Data

Controlling IT Cost in an Outsourced Environment

Posten Norge, a Nordic mail and logistics group, faced the challenge of controlling IT costs and gaining transparency in its complex, outsourced IT environment. Their goals were to reduce expenditures and establish a fact-based, balanced dialogue with their outsourcers. To address this, they engaged with vendor SMT Data to implement its ITBI solution.

SMT Data implemented its ITBI-as-a-Service for all major platforms, beginning with a Proof of Value engagement. This provided Posten Norge with a "single truth" for understanding the correlation between applications and infrastructure, leading to the immediate identification of cost-driving issues. The solution delivered significant cost savings and a return on investment within just a few months. SMT Data provided the transparency needed for better control, fact-based decision-making, and even an advantage in vendor contract negotiations.
