The numbers don't really tell the story. I was recently an HP developer (not in IT) and the quality of Mott's IT was staggeringly poor. Service outages happened daily, the servers were horrendously slow, and it was impossible to get IT to address the most basic, critical flaws. All Mott has done is shift the cost of IT to the people and projects it is intended to support. Teams of highly paid product engineers spent hours each day wrangling with ridiculous IT decisions. I've never seen anything like it, and it has caused some of the brighter colleagues to switch opportunities. You know you are in for a bad experience when the tool to give IT feedback is mysteriously inexcessible. So yes, now IT costs less. Next they should ditch all these expensive computers and string up some dixie cups and chalk boards. The savings! This is pure rubish. The numbers don’t really tell the story.

I was part of Data center consolidation and legacy lease line migration as Regional IT Project manager (APAC & Japan) for 2 years contract. I wish more success in learning which is pending and teaching is completed.

I'm most interested in the 30% maintenance to 70% new development. That allows IT to be a real innovator and a means to push business forward (IT profit center?). Those numbers seem about the opposite of a typical IT shop. So the question is, how does he sustain it? Automation, self-service IT, other? Those are impressive numbers.
