Cost reduction

Small cuts ship as pull requests, big ones as a statement of work.

Book a call

Datapace turns what the map finds into business cases: the saving a year, the effort, the risk and the evidence behind it. Your team approves the cases worth doing. Small fixes ship as pull requests your team reviews and merges; big changes come as a generated statement of work, scoped and priced, ready to sign.

What it does

  • Ranked by dollars

    Every opportunity becomes a business case with its saving a year, its one-off effort, its risk and its evidence, ranked by payback.

  • Approved by your team

    Your team or steering committee approves, defers or rejects each case, and every decision is recorded with its reason.

  • Pull request or statement of work

    A small fix arrives as a pull request on GitHub that your team reviews and merges. A big change, like a migration or a re-architecture, comes as a generated statement of work with its scope, phases, effort and the saving it buys.

  • Measured once it is live

    The saving is measured as the yearly run-rate reduction once the change is merged, and kept in the savings ledger.

As the yearly run-rate reduction once the change is merged.
What is in a statement of work?
