$4,999 Purchase

Introduction

The lack of a “coherent and business context-centered” IT infrastructure service automation strategy currently inhibits enterprises from realizing desired benefits from IT infrastructure investments. Enterprises need a sound automation strategy that:

  • Offers high agility and resilience to support dynamic business requirements (i.e. self-learning/ conscious IT infrastructure)
  • Takes a pragmatic adoption approach, supported by a clear decision framework (where and where not to adopt)
  • Gives due consideration to existing process maturity levels, rather than driving a “big-T” transformation without proper evaluation of the criticality of the underlying applications/businesses
  • Has a robust tools strategy at its heart, ensuring there is minimal vendor lock-in involved

From an IT infrastructure service provider perspective, automation has a new-found implication in today’s competitive and dynamic market, offering the potential to generate revenue streams while driving significant disruption in traditional engagement constructs and account management dynamics.
