Optimize All IT Costs, Not Just Cloud!

Many organizations focus on cloud cost optimization but overlook other critical areas. Legacy systems like mainframes and Unix platforms, as well as licenses and labor costs, also need attention. YäRKEN helps you:

  • Legacy Systems: Optimize costs for mainframes and Unix platforms.
  • Other Platforms: Review and streamline on-premises servers, storage, and networking.
  • Licenses and Labor: Audit software licenses and manage internal and external labor costs efficiently.

By adopting a holistic approach, YäRKEN ensures you capture the full spectrum of costs, leading to smarter investments and greater business value.

Many Business Cases fail. Yours doesn’t have to.

Focussing solely on cloud cost? You’re missing the mammoth share of the cost spectrum.

 
 
Tech Sprawl

More cloud services, more chaos. Tech sprawl leads to redundant tools, underused resources & cost overruns.
