As a company evolves, the IT infrastructure usually needs to grow in a similar fashion. This can often result in an unnecessarily complex and inefficient datacentre, which, over time, becomes more and more difficult to manage. IT optimisation should be planned, structured and implemented now more than ever before. Uncontrolled and unstructured growth must be managed by effective systems and processes that will simplify an organisation's IT, making it more efficient, more manageable and undoubtedly more cost-efficient.
