A UNIQUE CONSULTING SERVICE
 Toigo Partners International specializes in providing consulting services in the fields of data management and data security. We have determined that these activities are at the core of any effort to derive business value from IT investments.
Our expertise is documented in both our extensive list of client engagements and in numerous books and articles published by Jon William Toigo. Key to our services is the GRAILSM Methodology, developed by Toigo and described in his forthcoming book, Cost Containment: Evaluating and Executing Business-Savvy IT Strategies.
| Leveraging our GRAIL Methodology, we can create a data model of your existing business processes, identifying data flows and the server, network and storage infrastructure used to support them. This is a prerequisite for developing strategies for optimizing capacity allocation and utilization efficiency and for helping our clients to derive the best possible return on investment from their business technology investments.
Toigo Partners International is also a specialist in data protection and business continuity, security and disaster recovery planning. We can support your strategy development efforts in these areas with a broad array of services ranging from coaching services for those in your organization tasked with responsibility for planning, to development and testing support, to audits and assessments of current capabilities. |  |

DATA MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION FOCUS
Comprehensive Data Management Auditing and Modeling Service:
The current do-more-with-less budgetary reality confronting most IT shops, combined with new regulatory mandates on data protection and retention, have together focused increased attention on data management. To contain the costs of IT and to derive the greatest possible value from their technology investments, organizations need to manage data more effectively and allocate infrastructure to data flows appropriately based on clearly defined data management criteria.
First, IT leaders need to understand business processes and the applications that support them. Then, they need to model and characterize data flows both generated and used by the applications themselves.
A data management audit is a key first step in projects ranging from compliance planning, business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning to information lifecycle management. Toigo Partners has the experience and the knowledge to be of assistance in performing a comprehensive data management audit.
Leveraging our GRAIL Methodology, TPI will deploy software tools and interview appropriate personnel to document the nexus between business processes and their supporting IT infrastructure.
This preliminary data collection step enables us to:
- Map data flows between applications and infrastructure.
- Perform preliminary data characterization, in terms of criticality, accessibility, resiliency, security, and other attributes as defined by the client.
- Evaluate infrastructure allocation and utilization efficiency in terms of performance and cost.
- Develop strategic objectives for optimizing infrastructure over an acceptable timeframe.
- Provide preliminary guidance on technology options for enhancing cost-performance of infrastructure technology investments.
Contact TPI today to discuss how we might be able to assist you with your efforts to contain IT costs.
