Successful companies, institutions and organizations all seem to have several things in common � agility, efficiency and continuity. IT can also be a powerful driver for success.

To achieve such flexible and efficient infrastructure, IT professionals need options that produce results in the short term, provide maximum protection for legacy IT investments and permit reliable planning for the future. In the past, however, there was a tendency for IT infrastructures to keep getting more and more complex and less efficient.

In today�s challenging business world, companies must review the status of their technology to stay competitive. The immediate priority in most organizations will be standardization and consolidation. By minimizing investment in redundant systems and in the resources to keep them operating, an organization reduces the cost of IT services.
