Evaluation Centre's overview of the security software, IT infrastructure and business continuity market...The current economic climate is challenging most organisations, and this in turn has an impact on the IT department and its budgets. The pressure is on to do more with less, cut costs, become greener and deliver more flexible and agile services to the business.
Against this backdrop, companies are looking to IT to help them cut unnecessary costs and make the business as efficient and effective as possible to meet any downturn in their market.
It is more imperative than ever, therefore, that organisations continually re-evaluate their IT infrastructure so that it provides the right foundation to deliver the necessary services required by the business.
Our latest survey shows that the majority of companies (77%) appreciate the need to have a comprehensive management strategy for developing their IT infrastructure – though this still leaves 21% who are working on a less formal basis.
We asked respondents to rank the key concerns they face with their IT infrastructure on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 equals ‘not important’ and 5 equals ‘very important’. view in full >> |
