  • Identify short term gains that provide benefit to clients.
  • Review client architecture and delivery management functions using standard inputs (e.g., availability and capacity reports, demand management tools etc.) to identify opportunities or areas for optimization.  Develop and present opportunities to either internal or external stakeholders, for buy-in and prioritisation.
  • Review and identify areas whereby improvements of the cost and performance of the technology estate, service delivery and/or commercial model can be realised.
