Business and IT share a symbiotic relationship where one cannot exist without the other. This white paper is a comprehensive attempt to highlight the challenges faced by CIOs and articulate the key business problems faced when building IT as a business enabler, particularly during uncertain economic times. It also seeks to accentuate the expertise that the HCL-BMC partnership has built in the IT infrastructure management service space through MTaaS TM Shared, its business-centric platform that leverages on the potential of SaaS-based service offerings and cloud computing.
3 The overwhelming challenges of IT infrastructure management As organizations leave behind the recession, they are not expected to return to the dynamic days of extravagant spending on IT. IT leaders, CIOs, and CTOs will be called on to prove the value proposition of IT infrastructure to business. They will be impelled to think of ways to boost business agility and address escalating maintenance and administration costs. Faced with the challenge to find a balance between budgets and enterprise needs, CIOs will be coerced to consider a number of options before they can make the right choice. can I deploy services faster than our competitors with the given budget? do I store and secure business data? do I efficiently support internal and external customers? do I align IT with business? do I optimize IT infrastructure usage and avoid the wrath of the CFO and the CEO? The challenge does not end with the right choice. IT maintenance and management tasks contribute equally to the CIO s (and thereby the enterprise s) troubles. Business runs on IT. However, business demands that IT be responsive enough to meet its needs. To drive a profitable business, IT has to shed its role of a supporting system that is used to run operations. It must bridge operations with the business. With this understanding, IT leaders have come to the realization that managing IT infrastructure on a service model is the solution that will help them align IT with business. However, this model throws up its own set of questions. Despite the myriad challenges, one message is loud and undeniable - IT is an essential demon. the delivery service perform efficiently and reliably? the services be flexible and agile enough to support the requirements of the business? the services be reasonably priced? the services comply with the IT infrastructure management standards and regulations?
4 What is the IT infrastructure management service model? In its fundamental form, IT infrastructure management entailed renting out servers in a remote data center, with the vendor expected to provide nothing more than power and physical cable connections. However, IT infrastructure management has since evolved beyond its modest early stages. Today, IT infrastructure management includes - High levels of customization and standardization of services across heterogeneous environments Adoption of cloud computing aspects Pay-Per-Use advantage allowing companies to use the required IT services, thus keeping a check on the IT costs IT infrastructure management is offered in one of the three modes: In-Premise Delivery Cloud Based Delivery Hybrid Delivery What are the yardsticks to select the right service model? While managing enterprise IT through the service model is the imperative need of current times, companies need to choose their service model carefully to maximize their advantages and returns from their investments. IT leaders must consider the following key parameters as yardstick to make a right decision. Pricing. The business outcome of the service model should manifest as a sweeping reduction in IT spending - Money saved is money earned. The selected service model must undoubtedly do more for less. Transforming an existing IT setup to the service model will certainly call for some monetary investment from enterprises. However, the success of the decision depends on how soon the investments are returned. Efficiency. Only an efficient IT system can be a true business partner. An efficient IT system must reduce resource wastage and improve the productivity and decision making capabilities of the IT personnel. It must effectively match IT resources to the business requirements. Reliability. Speed, stability, security, and disaster recovery are four important reliability factors for measuring the performance of a service model. With businesses running on IT, there is always a compelling need for IT to be up and running all the time. A reliable and secure IT system is indisputably a key differentiator in mitigating business risks. Agility. In uncertain economic conditions, the success of a company depends on how easily it can adapt to increasing and decreasing IT infrastructure demands. A rigid or fixed IT will never give your business a competitive edge in the volatile and ever changing market scenario. The true measure value of a service model is in how swiftly and smoothly it adapts to the changing requirements, both qualitative and quantitative. Standardization. In this era of ever changing business dynamics, interoperability of enterprise IT plays a significant role in determining how well business adapts to the changed requirement be it a new customer or vendor. Standardized service models enable enterprise IT to be practical and interoperable, thus supporting business. Go Green. An efficient service model must reduce the carbon foot print of IT infrastructure by reducing and consolidating the hardware components required to run IT applications. Decrease in hardware components reduces the energy required for running and cooling it, resulting in tremendous savings in energy costs.
5 IT service management with HCL-BMC MTaaS TM Shared HCL has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to identifying trends in IT infrastructure management.
