UNDER-OVER UTILIZATION ANALYSIS

Some infrastructure runs at five percent, some at ninety-five — and the estate view that would expose both extremes doesn't exist. Money sits stranded while hotspots degrade service.

Business Question

"How much of what we own is barely used — and how much of what's overloaded could be fixed with what's idle?"

What SPoG Does

  • Detects underused resources and capacity hotspots across the whole infrastructure estate.
  • Quantifies stranded capacity and rebalancing opportunities in financial terms.
  • Tracks utilization efficiency over time so optimization becomes a managed KPI.
