Modular Infrastructure Services: A Rational Approach to Optimizing Your IT Operations

Information Technology (IT) has always been a lynchpin of innovation. Nonetheless, while the software and hardware components of IT have enjoyed steady advancements, the activities associated with operating and maintaining these components have fallen behind the curve. This fundamental divergence has resulted in an environment in which every US dollar spent on hardware requires two dollars in operational expense. Further exacerbating the problem is the current economic climate, a force causing business leaders to now more than ever seek new levers for gaining power, flexibility, and control.

These dynamics have given way to the emergence of a powerful new infrastructure model – modular service delivery. The modular model puts control back in the hands of the business leaders, allowing them to optimize their IT operations through increased flexibility and reconciled costs.

Join us for an insightful one-hour webinar, in which we will investigate the fundamental deficiencies in today’s IT infrastructure operations and factors driving the emergence of the new modular approach. We will discuss the practical application and benefits of this approach with two pioneers in the space: Cognizant Technology Solutions and Perot Systems. 

You will learn how adopting a modular approach can:

  • Reduce the cost of your ongoing operations, allowing you to invest where it counts the most
  • Make near-term beneficial impact without long-term commitments
  • Better align your IT to corporate situations and goals

RELATED RESEARCH

Adoption of Modular Architecture in IT Infrastructure Outsourcing
In recent times, companies have started to seriously consider a modular approach to infrastructure service delivery. It is therefore important to understand the adoption of the modularity concept in the infrastructure services domain, and learn about practical methods to build modular infrastructure solutions. | More

"Fluid IT Architecture" - The Evolution of Modularity in IT Infrastructure Operations
The concept of modularity created revolutions in many industries (e.g., manufacturing) and firmly established itself in IT. While almost every aspect of IT (e.g., hardware, software) has taken advantage of this powerful concept, IT operations remain monolithic and rarely offered in modules. This research is a forward-looking analysis of the implication of the modularity concept for IT operations and a presentation of an innovative model of IT operations management based on the modular approach. | More
