Responsible Rationalization: Reducing the Cost of IT Operations

While enterprise IT infrastructures are the key driver for the success of nearly every modern business, their costs for initial deployment and operational management can be astonishingly expensive. Costs related to the provisioning and maintenance of a complex IT ecosystem can grossly erode operational budgets and marginalize business successes and profitability. Faced with this reality, most organizations are pressured to reduce IT-related costs without diminishing service availability or performance.

Discover how rationalization practices can substantially reduce the cost of maintaining IT infrastructures while accelerating their effectiveness and reliability. Join two thought leaders, Steve Brasen, research director from leading IT analyst firm, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), and Gary Henderson, director of product management at ASG Technologies, for an engaging webinar on this topic.

Key topics of discussion include:

• Understanding rationalization and the core processes essential to improving returns on investment in IT

• Reducing the size of a hardware and software footprint for a more streamlined operational environment

• Eliminating “finger pointing” between solution providers to enable faster mean times to resolution (MTTR)

• Simplifying administration to enable more response and effective IT support

• Reducing application sprawl on large systems such as mainframes

• The step-by-step processes for effectively introducing rationalization practices in your organization that will pragmatically align with production requirements and budget limitations.
