Solving Finance Challenges in the Digital Enterprise

The dramatic growth in new digital services has led to a more complex IT infrastructure and an increasing need to scale. Businesses are provisioning new IT environments at a breakneck speed but must be careful to keep costs under control.

Left unchecked, the growth in assets can lead to unnecessary cost and wasted resources. By contrast, insufficient capacity in key areas can directly impact service quality and put a business’s reputation at risk. Businesses that fail to optimize their infrastructure are going to be unable to meet the scalability and cost requirements necessary to keep up with disruptive new competitors.

Lower your costs with:

• TrueSight Capacity Optimization: Align IT to business goals based on capacity usage patterns and predicted growth.
• Cloud Lifecycle Management: Orchestrate the delivery and management of secure IT services across private and public clouds, as well as legacy data center infrastructures.

In our personal lives, consumer technology enables us to do things more efficiently, effectively, and enjoyably. But in the enterprise, interacting with IT can be frustrating and cumbersome. And when service management technology is outdated and complicated, productivity on both sides of the service desk drops.

IT needs to deliver tools that can help employees work smarter and faster. In addition, understanding how IT assets are being used can help identify areas for optimizing investments. For example, if a server or piece of software isn’t being used, it can be taken offline or have its license not renewed to save on costs.
