The Challenge: A Sickness Called "IT Waste"
IT organizations have enabled businesses to compete and respond to the demands of the market, supported businesses reaching out to new prospects, customers and market segments, and improved employee engagement. But as the number and types of technologies continued to grow, IT simply lost track of exactly what technologies were deployed, who was using them, what value they delivered to the business and at what cost. It can be said that IT became sick. Instead of contributing to the bottom line, it became wasteful and inefficient.
“86% of respondents do not have complete and accurate information to effectively manage their IT environment. ”
