Pressure From Rising Costs

IT is feeling more pressure from Financial and Business consumers. The leveraging of existing assets and reduction of technological inefficiencies continue to enforce a containment of costs.

• How do explain your operating costs?
• How do they measure up to ‘industry average IT costs’?
• Can you illustrate that infrastructure costs will decrease over time, relative to business growth?

Quantify Scenarios

Do you have the tools, skills and reports to prove a decision to ‘BUY vs. BUILD’ for a new business application? Who should be making application performance decisions, and who will manage the ‘overall system wellness’ once in place?

How do you define the support criteria for ‘wellness’, and who will ensure that this is maintained? These are questions that often become unresolved guesstimates and over time catch up with you, without a vision and strategy for Enterprise Capacity Management.

Break Free From The Tactical Vortex

You need the right people with the right tools and processes to ‘maintain and sustain’ as well as to predict infrastructure costs generated by new business. IT Support staff continue to chase the snake by working resurfacing problems because they are caught in The Tactical Vortex. There seems never enough time to plan performance and capacity and effects of change. Firefighting continues as a major role in IT, stealing precious time from planning the approach for end-to-end system life cycle capacity & performance management. Let’s move from alerting only to planning, analyzing and predicting:

• What happened and why did it happen?
• What will happen next?
• What is happening now and what do I want to happen?
