Complex infrastructures can
be more difficult to manage
and to adapt to changing
business demands
Freeing up IT staff members
enables them to spend more time
with the business to provide better
platforms for innovation
With complex infrastructures,
more IT staff time is required
for maintenance and
troubleshooting
By simplifying IT infrastructure, he
can provide resources to application
development teams immediately
rather than forcing them to wait

Many enterprises have decentralized
structures, with business units making
their own IT decisions and many having
their own pockets of IT
Decentralization of the Business
Corporate M&A Activity
M&As has been a key driver of business growth
for the past several decades, but they create
complexity in the IT infrastructure as new
datacenters, applications, and environments are
added to the mix
Business demands on IT are greater than ever,
with expectations of real-time access to data,
access to applications across multiple devices,
improved user experiences, availability of social
collaboration tools, and greater levels of
application uptime
Need to Support Greater Business Demands

Factors Leading to IT Complexity (1 of 2)

5. Factors Leading to IT Complexity (2 of 2)
Whether financial systems, customer databases, or
supply chain management, many critical applications
reside on legacy systems that are untouched. But
adapting these systems to support today's needs
often requires adding new integrations, modern user
interfaces (UIs), or auxiliary applications
› Many businesses' systems and data
repositories were implemented at different
points in time for different purposes but are
now required to communicate with each
other
› Reconciling different systems and standards
creates complexity
› Even for leading-edge organizations,
meeting business demands can cause a
great deal of complexity
› Web-based organizations in particular are
under pressure to launch new products
and services on a rapid release cycle

Approaches to Reduce Complexity
Consolidation & Rationalization of
Applications, Systems, & Datacenters
Reducing the physical server, network, & storage footprint
reduces the number of systems IT staff must manage and the
corresponding burden.
Application
Modernization
Replacing legacy applications and the layers of integration and
customizations that often surround them can greatly simplify
the infrastructure and reduce the IT management burden.
Unification of Operating
Environments
Managing multiple operating systems and environments
increases staff burden and complexity; streamlining down to a
single environment greatly reduces complexity.
