Legacy IT systems can hinder business, becoming a repository for technical debt that drives IT costs higher. Analyst firm IDC suggests ways to reduce technical debt through IT Transformation.
Consolidate server hardware infrastructures and associated licensing and other costs
With a hybrid cloud approach, consolidation efforts can combine modernizing IT on converged systems internally and deploying external cloud solutions where appropriate.
Enable IT infrastructure staff members to be more productive
Automation and self-provisioning provide a means for IT staff to reduce or even eliminate the time they spend on routine support and maintenance tasks.
Make security and data protection efforts more efficient and effective
Centralizing security processes, data governance and protection initiatives can ensure that security is managed in a more holistic, comprehensive manner.
Reduce the operational and business impact of unplanned outages
Any unexpected system outages can disrupt business operations and negatively impact revenue. Maintaining reliable IT operations can ease the financial fallout associated with unplanned downtime.
Spend more time with lines of business on application development
With IT freed up from routine tasks, more time and effort can be spent with the LOBs to develop applications that meet specific business requirements, delivering more value.
