Do you know what kind of databases you are running? What kind of queries are made on Database? There might be coding in a program say
SELECT * from HUGE_Table. Also there might be wonderful programmers in the project who will run this query in QMF just to practise. Do you know how much CPU this takes? |

How do you plan to take measurements of used resource, what measurement units will you be looking at and what products and expertise do you already have in place to do this.
Which hardware is under utilised, can you do without it, or is it there for contingency.
Which software products are much more expensive than those from competitor suppliers. I Have just finished an analysis project of this nature - The result of changing certain software suppliers can yield immense savings, as can having multiple products from the same vendor result in much lower license costs for bulk agreements. The estimated savings to my client for that one project was over 5 million euro p.a.
As Dick, Devzee and myself have pointed out the one main area for cost recovery - efficient coding, and Dick has given a valid reason as to why this is not a consideration at many sites, initial costs to develop an application.
So how do you propose to audit every program, module, transaction etc. etc. to check its efficiency. How many programmers do you have with the years of experience that are needed to know the best ways of doing things. Are you willing to pay contract colsultant rates to get that expertise long term ?
You may have to spend 100's, although it will be more like 1,000's of man days to investigate and test solutions that will save you a mere fraction of that cost in a year, so the cost effectivenes of undertaking this task is also a prime consideration. Why spend more than you will save ?
Perhaps the best solution would be to implement more cost effective coding and practices from now on, and tackle existing code etc. etc. when it is time to change them naturally.
As Dick said

Yes boss, I can save you money, however the project cost recouperation process will take 23 years. |
