IT infrastructure: cutting your coat and tightening your belt
Evaluation Centre's overview of the security software, IT infrastructure and business continuity market...Technology marches on, the economy continues to provide a challenging environment and IT departments need to become leaner and more efficient.
It’s not an easy time in most business sectors, and many companies are looking to the IT function to cut costs and play a more strategic role in the business. The available options have never been greater – and IT management need to clearly understand the range of possibilities to provide a fully optimised technology infrastructure.
It’s reassuring, then, that our latest user survey finds 95% of organisations have an IT infrastructure management strategy in place, providing a framework for planning their future development.
What’s more, infrastructure issues are obviously being taken seriously, with 68% of companies reviewing the decisions at board level. However, this still leaves 27% where this is not the case.
Nowadays, of course, it is very much a case of having to ‘cut your coat (or rather your costs) according to your cloth’. Altogether, 9% of IT departments have been forced to implement very significant cost savings; in 19% the cuts have been significant and a further 32% have had to make moderate cuts. view in full >> |
