2025: Value Engineering Service Launch

MTS Web Services (MWS) has launched a free Value Engineering service for large customers, which will allow Russian business to compare various scenarios for the development of its own IT infrastructure, taking into account its total cost of ownership (TCO) and expected return on investment (ROI). Companies will be able to compare the benefits of building an infrastructure themselves, renting servers, or migrating to the cloud. The company announced this on March 4, 2025.

As part of the Value Engineering service, MWS experts will help customers compare different scenarios for the development of the IT infrastructure, taking into account the specifics of the business and choose the best option. Possible scenarios include the purchase of servers and other hardware and software for their placement in their own data centers, full or partial migration of IT infrastructure to the cloud or hybrid cloud, as well as rental of servers (Bare metal) or stands in already built data centers (Colocation). Companies will not only find out which option will be the cheapest in total cost of ownership in the chosen time horizon, but will also be able to assess the indirect business and IT benefits of various scenarios based on Value Drivers.

With Value Engineering, customers can better prepare information to protect an IT infrastructure development project to decision makers - shareholders, CFOs, or CEOs. Business will be able to make a balanced choice about the future fate of its IT systems, based on the correct accounting of all total benefits.
