How we helped the largest private hospital in the middle east
The Problem
Low clarity over IT costs
Sidra Medicine is a major healthcare institution with an advanced IT landscape supporting clinical, administrative, and research operations. While the infrastructure was technically robust — with over 1,600 virtual servers and 120+ enterprise applications — the organization faced a serious challenge:
- Escalating IT costs without full visibility or financial control.
Partial data, limited tracking, vendor lock-ins
Lack of financial oversight
Budget reductions were colliding with rising technology complexity. Sidra’s IT team had partial cost data, limited license tracking, and no centralized model linking operational expenditures to strategic value. Decisions were being made reactively, and leadership lacked a full, precise picture of:
- What was being spent
- Where the money was going
- Which systems or vendors were delivering ROI
- Where consolidation or optimization was possible
In parallel, gaps in financial data — such as 60 applications unaccounted for in expense exports — meant cost control was becoming increasingly difficult.

In 2025, IT and security spend is ballooning — and most of it is invisible waste.
Unused licenses, overlapping tools, overpriced consultants, unmanaged cloud creep… the list goes on. The good news? You can cut 20–35% of IT/security spend without compromising your company’s safety.
This guide gives you 21 fast, actionable ways to do just that — used by teams we’ve helped scale securely without bloated IT budgets.
The Solution
Financial Mapping & License Cost Attribution
Reviewed 1,183 OPEX entries from Oracle Fusion. Built a unified cost structure linking budget lines to actual apps and systems. Identified missing, duplicate, or poorly categorized costs (e.g., internally developed apps with zero licensing cost were being overrepresented)
Application Cost & Value Analysis
Mapped 124 applications and over 230 submodules. Evaluated vendor contracts, license types, user counts, and deployment models. Assessed performance, integration quality, and business alignment
Optimization Opportunity Identification
Surfaced over 55 cost-saving and efficiency opportunities. Grouped opportunities using an effort-impact matrix for fast prioritization. Identified areas of overspending, underutilization, vendor lock-in, and inefficiency
Cost and ROI benchmarking
Compared Sidra’s IT spend as a % of gross revenue and OPEX against international healthcare benchmarks.
