The company will likely also combine technology systems and thereby reduce technology maintenance costs.
FORBES: Five Thoughts on a Penguin-Random House Merger: Rapid Reaction
When his colleagues contemplated project costs, they thought about development costs, hardware costs and software costs, but not about support and maintenance costs after the technology is implemented, for instance.
By shifting focus from technology operations and maintenance towards innovation, organizations can reduce costs and remain competitive in a challenging economic market.
Even in peacetime, too little is spent on technology, training and maintenance, so standards are low.
It requires hiring journalists and editors, and they have egos and families and high maintenance, unlike smooth-running technology.
Now, advances in technology are making the maintenance schedule much more user-friendly than it used to be, and also making it easier for mechanics to diagnose and correct problems.
FORBES: New Technology Brings Business Jet Operating Costs Back To Earth
What he did not foresee was the development of the transistor and later the integrated circuit, which mean satellites are far smaller than the objects he sketched out, which would have used valve technology and needed regular maintenance.
Organizations need to set specific goals and build a solid roadmap, outlining goals like lowering IT costs or allocating a percentage of your IT budget to go towards technology growth initiatives over the next year versus maintenance costs.
Anticipative maintenance is part of a larger shift at the rail arm toward using more technology on the tracks.
This is thanks to the very consolidated technology market in which the giants are soaking up most of the maintenance revenues.
Enterprises can deploy M2M technology now to reduce the cost of field service management through remote maintenance, they can optimize fleet scheduling with real-time location and traffic data and they can tap into new business models such as usage-based (or pay-as-you) go billing.
In 1999, the City's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications entered into a number of franchise contracts for the installation, maintenance and operation of public payphones on City sidewalks.

America's technology has long been recognized as a military force-multiplier, critical to the maintenance of the U.S. armed forces' qualitative edge in combat.
Then one of the entrepreneurs who had worked in a quite high-tech garage remembered a technology for measuring exactly how much fluid got dispensed, and where, in car maintenance.
Highly effective, and completely maintenance free, it kept their pueblos warm in winter, and cool in the summer using only stone age technology.
