Your Challenge

  • An infrastructure development might become a hot topic if a lot of people are talking about it or doing it, but the value and business benefit to the organization must be considered before upgrading or changing existing infrastructure simply because something “better” is emerging.
  • These hot developments are top of mind right now because they are driving interest in a range of new developments that advocates say will impact future directions in infrastructure, but it remains to be seen whether they will actually boost success for infrastructure managers.

Our Advice

Critical Insight
  • New and emerging tech developments, no matter how exciting, do not typically drive infrastructure changes. Instead, infrastructure investments tend to follow lifecycle spans.
  • When the time comes for a refresh and upgrade, make sure that the specific business value that the new development brings matches your IT roadmap.
Impact and Result
  • This set will help infrastructure managers evaluate these hot developments in the context of advancing core goals in infrastructure.
  • It will highlight potential overall benefits, such as cost reduction, mitigation of performance bottlenecks, and enablement of new applications and services.
  • It will establish the possible value proposition for each of these developments and what should be communicated to senior managers, vendors, and fellow infrastructure professionals.
