But what exactly is the IT life cycle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bamac-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-is-the-life-cycle-of-it-products\">What is the life cycle of IT products?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IT life cycle describes the phases from the creation to the decommissioning of IT products, systems and platforms. An evaluation from the perspective of the IT lifecycle has several advantages. This creates a <strong>more complete<\/strong> and therefore <strong>more sustainable<\/strong> <strong>basis for decision-making<\/strong>. This helps with such considerations, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When deciding between in-house development or standard software, it is important to <strong>consider the total costs<\/strong> when comparing the two solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The question of what costs the customer will incur for the <strong>continuation of the application<\/strong>, assuming an end of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When it comes to the question of when an <strong>old system <\/strong>should be replaced by a new one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to the <strong>core question<\/strong>: How are the costs of the product for Change and Run developing? And what do the above-mentioned life cycle costs consist of? To answer this, let&#8217;s first look at the initial situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bamac-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-initial-situation-and-question\">Initial situation and question  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>budget<\/strong> for IT products is made up of the <strong>one-off development services<\/strong> or customizing of standard products (Change) and the <strong>ongoing maintenance costs<\/strong> (Run), which ensure the operation of the product. Together they form the <strong>life cycle costs of a product<\/strong>. Experience shows that in the cost development of IT portfolios, the proportion of new functions and processes gradually decreases compared to maintenance costs. With IT budgets often limited, the proportion of change is decreasing (see Figure 1). As a result, fewer and fewer functions are being provided despite increasing demand. This leads to a so-called &#8220;<strong>application backlog<\/strong>&#8220;.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bamac-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-development-of-life-cycle-costs\">Development of life cycle costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will show you this below using a <strong>practical example<\/strong>. For this purpose, we use data from the BAMAC GROUP database, which we have alienated using a neutral name (product 1 and 2). In order to make the procedure transparent and clear, two products were selected and their productivity was determined. Both products are developed in the first year and subsequently expanded.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3249\" height=\"1533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-5.png 3249w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-5-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-5-1024x483.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3249px) 100vw, 3249px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Table <strong>1<\/strong>: Part 1 &#8211; No maintenance costs in the first year <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the special situation that all products are developed in the first year, no maintenance costs are incurred (see Table 1).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3249\" height=\"1533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-6.png 3249w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-6-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-6-1024x483.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3249px) 100vw, 3249px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Table <strong>2<\/strong>: Part 2 &#8211; Productivity decreases with increasing product complexity in the Change and Run area  <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintenance costs are calculated on the basis of the cumulative functions of the IT products up to the previous year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3249\" height=\"1533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-7.png 3249w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-7-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-7-1024x483.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3249px) 100vw, 3249px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Table <strong>3<\/strong>: Part 3 &#8211; after just 5 years we have a dominant share of Run costs in the total budget <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The analysis of the portfolio shows that after 6 years there is a <strong>clear shift<\/strong> towards maintenance costs.

As illustrated above, the existing IT products and their functions, as well as the associated expenditure data for development (Change) and maintenance (Run), form the basis of analysis for BAMAC Group. The <strong>functional analysis<\/strong> is usually carried out on the basis of the existing <strong>documentation<\/strong>. Where no documentation is available, the analysis is carried out in <strong>workshops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAMAC Group relies on the input of IT Controlling to <strong>collect<\/strong> actual data. The quality of the <strong>data<\/strong> is an important indicator of the quality of the forecasts made. <strong>Mathematical instruments<\/strong> (in particular statistical error analyses) can be used to compensate for any incompleteness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bamac-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-result-of-the-analysis-of-the-life-cycle-costs-of-it-products\">Result of the analysis of the life cycle costs of IT products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have already answered the key question about the development of life cycle costs above. At the same time, a new question arises: Is this cost trend unavoidable or is it possible to increase the proportion of new functions or reduce the proportion of maintenance costs without increasing the IT budget?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-bamac-dark-beige-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-is-it-possible-to-increase-the-proportion-of-change-without-increasing-the-overall-it-budget\">Is it possible to increase the proportion of change without increasing the overall IT budget?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3262\" height=\"1606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-2.png 3262w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-2-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bamacgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ITPPM_Grafik-2-1024x504.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3262px) 100vw, 3262px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Figure <strong>1<\/strong>: Solutions are needed to reduce the budget share for maintenance and increase the share for new development  <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case study shows how the distribution of costs for Change and Run has changed over the course of six years. This was done in order to identify <strong>possibilities for optimizing<\/strong> the current situation. The graphic illustrates this optimization process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-bamac-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-optimization-options-for-the-life-cycle-costs-of-it-products\">Optimization options for the life cycle costs of IT products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to counteract this shift in life cycle costs, we present ways that have emerged from our decades of practical experience, which optimize the distribution of costs and increase the efficiency of your IT products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following measures can be used to<strong> optimize<\/strong> and <strong>increase efficiency<\/strong>:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remove functionalities that are no longer used<\/strong>  <br>Functionalities that you no longer need but remain in the system must be maintained. You therefore tie up capital that is of no benefit to you. There is potential above all in obsolete functionalities for process support or products that are no longer used.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Replace legacy systems<\/strong> <br>Check whether you should continue to develop your legacy systems or whether a replacement strategy will enable more economical operation.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standardize processes and functions &#8211; do without arabesques<\/strong> <br>Break down particularly nuanced products and merge the application areas. Again and again we find applications in several variants in one organization (e.g. billing systems). This is often due to the merger of new companies or reorganization within groups. After these reorganizations, it is often forgotten to adapt the system landscape.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consolidate data and functions<\/strong>  <br>Reduce redundancies in both data (e.g. customer data) and functions (e.g. accounting systems).  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make your decision based on productivity criteria  <\/strong> <br>Consistently check your IT portfolio for efficiency as early as the planning phase. <br><br>Is your development set up optimally in terms of development costs? <br>What about maintenance? <br><br>Check productivity and, if necessary, implement measures to increase productivity (e.g. qualification of employees, modularization of the architecture, optimization of the workplace environment and consolidation of development locations).  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tips will take you a long way towards <strong>optimizing your IT portfolio<\/strong>.
