IT Encouraged to Get Back to Basics for Cost Optimization

December 20, 2012

I recently came across “IT Basics: Cost Optimization for Small and Medium Business” on ZDNet and was impressed with the article’s focus on simplifying and getting back to basics. The article encourages IT to pay attention to service delivery and project execution; essentially, execute and deliver on the basics of business and operations. It can certainly be easy for one to get caught up in innovations and big data trends, all while losing sight of what really matters.

The article confirms:

“Business executives will listen to a CIO who delivers the basics really well.

The importance of basic IT operations means it is worthwhile to review topics such as infrastructure, productivity based on technology, efficiency, cost savings, and establishing strong relations between IT and lines of business. For smaller organizations, in particular, these issues are the day-to-day lifeblood of IT activities.”

While this article focuses on small and medium businesses, IT cost optimization is important for any size business. In an enterprise, it is challenging to find the right search solutions that offer reliable, secure, and comprehensive capabilities. Intrafind is one way to get more optimization, with its user-friendly and high-performance solutions.
