BOSTON, MA and LONDON--(Marketwire - October 19, 2010) - Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (
As IT executives evaluate their current and future IT investment priorities, Aberdeen's IT Research Director Russ Klein will present research results Aberdeen has identified to improve IT efficiency, productivity, and business success by adopting certain best practices and technology solutions.
"Data centre technologies are evolving very quickly right now," says Russ Klein, IT Research Director, whose group has conducted numerous studies on the topic. "IT Managers are faced with exploding volumes of data, increasing demands from enterprise power-users, and myriad technology solutions from which to choose. Finding the balance between wired and wireless network infrastructure, on-premise and hosted solutions, and application security vs. ease-of-use requires careful consideration, agility, and a culture willing to adapt to change. My presentation at IPExpo will directly address the best practices IT executives need to adopt to achieve true IT infrastructure transformation."
Aberdeen's IPExpo presentation will share data and insights that detail how:
-
Seventy-five percent (75%) of IT departments take less than one year to complete a network transformation project; however, 42% of those projects take longer than expected.
-
Network transformation projects that are completed on-time or early consistently include clearly defined management roles, discovery and monitoring tools, simulations, and a strong governance framework.
