OptimiseITthroughInfrastructureManagementMany enterprise infrastructures have changed organically over recent years and have been influenced by business change including; organic growth, acquisitions and mergers, rightsizing, under-investment and changes in business focus and operational changes such as; purchasing and support models. In many cases, this has led to complexity and problems within the IT infrastructure that can include:

a Staff are allocated to “fire-fighting” issues across an often unconnected, disparate IT estate, rather than being freed up to deliver new functionality for the businessa Valuable IT resources undertaking time-consuming tasks using multiple disparate toolsets, due to a lack of standardisation, automation and the use of a consistent management platforma The inability to deliver a more responsive IT lifecycle service, due to the inflexible nature in which servers and infrastructure is deployed, scaled, migrated and decommissioneda Maintenance of existing physical infrastructure is both time consuming and costly because of firmware upgrades, physical imaging and the need to deliver a level of resiliency a The lack of a robust Business Continuity plan that is unable to deliver both the RPO and RTO needed to enable the company to continue transacting in the event of a critical failurea Difficulty in performing root cause analysis on hybrid, interdependent environments in the event of a major incident or service outage
