Meeting Evolving Business Requirements
Over time, a collaborative IT environment evolves as it matures and changes. For instance, in a relatively short period your environment will almost certainly have changed substantially in some of the following areas:
* Rapid increases in size or activity of your user community.
* Increased integration with external systems.
* Increased number of mobile and remote users.
* Dramatic increases in storage requirements that lead to strains on archiving and backup systems.
To continually address these challenges, as well as evolving business needs, periodic health checks are essential. They will provide you with the necessary information to understand important cost drivers in managed operations such as network infrastructure, hardware, software and administration.
These cost drivers are the source for common management questions, such as:
* What does user demand look like?
* Where is the heavy mail users located?
* Which are the most popular applications?
* Are certain maintenance budgets still justified?
* How much network bandwidth is required at user locations?
* Are there “quick wins” with respect to database deployment or system consistency?
* Will system and network resource capacity match business needs?
