Background: practical IT experience behind IT cost diagnostics and optimization
Before developing diagnostic methodologies and calculating TCO, we spent years building, operating, and untangling complex IT environments ourselves.
Most SMB companies don’t suffer from “bad IT decisions” – they suffer from a loss of control.
IT costs grow over time due to:
- degraded asset and access inventory,
- missing ownership and RACI,
- accumulation of “black boxes” in spending,
- architectural decisions whose real cost becomes visible only years later.
These issues cannot be identified through theory, benchmarks, or tooling alone. They require hands-on experience with real infrastructures – bills, access rights, subscriptions, incidents, and the downstream consequences of earlier decisions.
This practical experience is exactly what defines our background.
Domains of practical IT experience
These projects spanned multiple technology domains. Today, we do not offer these services as standalone offerings, but use the accumulated experience as the foundation for diagnostics, anomaly analysis, and TCO calculation.
This experience is directly embedded into the IT Infrastructure and Cost Inventory & Diagnostics product:
Сollection of objective, verifiable data from multiple sources
Construction of a unified model of assets, access rights, and costs
Identification of anomalies, inconsistencies, and inefficiency zones
Calculation of TCO delta, ROI, and payback
Development of a prioritized action roadmap
The result is restored IT controllability and a validated economic impact within a 12-month horizon.
Their project management style is very hands-on with lots of back and forth communication every day.

Exposit’s specialists welcome a challenge, and they don’t look for easy solutions. While it is customary for consultants to completely dismiss the work you have already done and propose a solution of their own, the Exposit team took the more difficult approach of taking what we had and making it better.
