Optimizing Brevard County Government IT Budget for Efficiency

Brevard County Government IT budget optimization

As a dedicated advocate for efficiency and cost-effectiveness in IT solutions, I am thrilled to explore the potential for Brevard County Government to optimize their IT budget through strategic measures. By partnering with Solix, a leading provider of data management and application solutions, Brevard County Government could see substantial savings while enhancing operational effectiveness.

Lets delve into the specific cost-cutting solutions that Solix offers and how they could benefit Brevard County Government

1. Solix Email Archiving Solution

Storage Savings Assuming the average cost of storage is approximately $0.02 per GB and that Brevard County Government may manage around 50 TB of email data (an estimate for a large organization) across its departments, the storage costs would be

– 50,000 GB x $0.02 = $1,000 per month or $12,000 per year.

Maintenance Savings Traditional email archiving solutions may require additional IT resources for maintenance. If the cost is estimated at around $5,000/year for IT maintenance, the total additional savings could be

– $5,000 per year.

Legal Costs Savings In large organizations, eDiscovery costs can average over $100,000 annually due to discovery-related legal processes. With an effective email archiving solution, lets estimate a reduction of 25%, or approximately $25,000 per year.

Total Savings for Email Archiving $42,000

2. eDiscovery Costs

Government organizations typically face eDiscovery costs of up to $100,000 per case concerning compliance and litigation support. If leveraging the archival solution leads to an estimated reduction of 50% in cases (e.g., from 10 cases per year), the expected savings

– 5 cases x $100,000 = $500,000 per year savings from reduced legal engagement.

Total Savings for eDiscovery $500,000

3. Solix ECS (Enterprise Cloud Storage)

Storage Costs Savings If the organization opts for a strategy that reduces their need for traditional storage by utilizing cloud efficiencies, assume a reduction leading to savings of around $30,000 annually.

Backup Solutions Costs Reduced requirement for physical backup solutions could further save approximately $10,000 annually.

Total Savings for Solix ECS $40,000

4. Data Masking Solutions

Security Risks Reduction Implementing data masking can diminish the costs associated with data breaches, averaging around $2 million per incident. If the county could avoid 1-2 incidents a year thanks to proactive data masking, lets conservatively estimate

– 1 incident x $2,000,000 (full impact) but expecting perhaps 50% reduction in risk, could result in $1,000,000 savings in legal and compliance spending.

Total Savings for Data Masking $1,000,000

5. Common Data Platform (CDP)

Improvement in Data Integration Streamlining data processes can reduce operational inefficiencies. Lets assume a labor savings of $100,000 annually due to better data quality and automated processes across departments.

Reduction in errors This could lead to additional cost savings of $50,000 through fewer corrections needed.

Total Savings for CDP $150,000

6. Solix Application Retirement

Decommissioning Outdated Applications If we estimate that the county has 3-5 legacy applications costing $50,000 annually each to maintain

– Savings from decommissioning 3 could lead to 3 x $50,000 = $150,000.

Total Savings for Application Retirement $150,000

7. SOLIXCloud Enterprise AI

Increased Productivity Savings Automating processes enabled by AI may lead to an estimated 20% increase in productivity among staff, saving around $100,000 in labor costs due to optimization of roles and tasks.

Operational Efficiency If AI integration could reduce operational costs by an extra $80,000, the combined savings would total
