Top Business Issues

Centre of attention

Evaluation Centre's overview of the security software, IT infrastructure and business continuity market

...The spotlight is now firmly focused on IT infrastructure. As companies continually seek to improve their operational efficiency and reduce costs, so likewise the IT environment must become more adaptable, responsive and costeffective.

IT managers are also faced with increasing security concerns, in terms of protecting data and ensuring their systems can provide the level of service and business continuity demanded. In addition, as new technology emerges, this has to be factored into the equation. Oh…and by the way, can you also become ‘green’ and more environmentally friendly?

With all these pressures, it is essential that companies develop a coherent strategy to manage their overall IT infrastructure and ensure it meets the changing needs of the business.

Our recent survey into IT infrastructure issues shows a healthy 78% of companies have this kind of over-arching strategy – though that still leaves a significant 22% who are functioning on an ad-hoc basis.
