Throwing out your IT equipment too soon?

IN this day and age, the deployment and leverage of information technology is a lifeline in the way businesses sustain themselves and move forward. Maximising a business's IT infrastructure is indispensable.

The proliferation of "big" concepts such as data analytics, data centre and data centre infrastructure management, and a host of other terms add to the buzz and complexities of the marketplace.

Within this context, large corporations, and their vast IT departments, operate in a structured and process-driven manner which emphasises continuity of the "same" strategy, rather than looking for smarter and evolving options. Any change to strategy in such an IT operation, if any at all, takes place in a very incremental manner.
