Taking a full-stack view of the IT environment by starting with the biggest time-drain for IT teams is an excellent first step—one where your technology partner can support different hardware and software frameworks, and offer options that are a fit for overall data center requirements.
It would be interesting to ask a large group of both Fortune 500 and smaller companies if their teams have “IT confidence.” Or, if they’ve achieved IT transformation, how would they define it, and how was it achieved? Chances are, for those who claim to have such confidence in their systems, there’s at least some degree of overarching, automatic management, monitoring, and interfacing that has freed up IT administrators to focus on more specific challenges, creating a more stable, progressive environment.
It’s no secret that most IT administrators spend their days putting out proverbial fires and ensuring that the basic infrastructure remains up and running with minimal interference. This has been the nature of IT administration since systems became the guiding force of many organizations, and although many admins wish their infrastructure management meant more creative problem-solving and less “firefighting,” a lack of time and mission means this trend will continue if left unchecked.
In order to rebuild IT confidence in business systems, we believe that IT teams need to possess some degree of overarching, automatic management, monitoring, and interfacing that has freed up IT administrators to focus on more specific challenges, creating a more stable, progressive environment.
Here are three steps to get started on transformation and rebuilding confidence in your IT today.
