Often decisions are made on gut-feel or incomplete data – which is ok, as long as the staff has overview and stay in IT operations over the years. However, reality is that the infrastructure grows with the growing volumes of data and new technologies implemented over time. Nobody has the overview anymore. The servers setup a few years ago – and in worst cases by IT staff no longer in the company – are running, while IT operations have no knowledge of these servers and their function. You can guess what happens in case of a major break-down and following restore…

Decisions on technology purchases are a specific challenge, as these investments are significant, and must support the growing business. But due to challenges with technology setup, or miss-calculation (based on limited facts) of future needs or simply relying on the vendors salespeople, sometimes results in bad technology purchases – and this is expensive. With better facts, decisions sizing and scoping can be better, hence purchases can be timed or pushed forward.
