Our Advice
Critical Insight
- When it comes to updating your infrastructure to meet business requirements, incremental investments aren't always the best choice.
- When the status quo has a high TCO, or if your needs or the technology choices have changed, it may be time to revisit your infrastructure approach.
- Begin by understanding your future business requirements to decide if you should consider revisiting your infrastructure, and compare the TCO of options to make the final choice.
Impact and Result
- Assess the business drivers that justify considering an infrastructure overhaul.
- Evaluate which plan you should choose based on the total cost of ownership, both of an incremental investment and of other, possible solutions.
