Abstract
In today’s globalized, supercharged, and supercompetitive economy, companies encounter more and more situations that call for immediate and tangible relief of the cost burden without allowing any compromise on the quality of their products or services. Such situations affected companies of all sizes and in all industries, and they leave only two options: Reducing costs or improving efficiency—immediately, if possible. IT production is not above this situation. The following chapter will take a look at possible first-response measures for the immediate improvement of efficiency and costs.
