As a TPM, your customer has just told you about a major business problem he has. He's spending too much money on servers every year. New servers means new operating systems. New OS means more money....more money means....the problem gets bigger.
So what do you do? Do you suggest the first thing that comes into your head? Well...you could do!
A better approach is to be creative. Sit down, be creative. Examine different ideas and approaches. For this particular example the question could be asked from the outset:
-Why are new servers been acquired so regularly?
-Is it necessary?
-Could a single server be purchased with sufficient capacity for the next five years?
-Could a virtual environment be considered?
-Is a server even needed?
-Could company data be hosted by an external provider (Application Service Provider) or a hosting company?
These are just a few ideas for the example mentioned above. it does help though in any project when looking at a solution, to have lots and lots of ideas and approaches.
Be creative, study the Internet, read Computing newspapers and magazines....read blogs...brainstorm....join groups online....but get creative. See what the latest trends are.
But be creative...
