FAQ: IT Infrastructure Management

What is IT Infrastructure Management?

IT infrastructure management is the planning, control and monitoring of an organization's IT infrastructure. The IT infrastructure comprises all hardware, software, network and telecommunications systems that are required for the operation and support of business processes. IT infrastructure management aims to ensure the availability, performance, security and efficiency of IT resources, reduce costs and minimize risks. 

Who needs an IT infrastructure management tool?

While an IT infrastructure management tool helps companies across all sectors as well as public authorities to organize their IT infrastructure more efficiently, industries such as the public sector, automotive/manufacturing, airports, utilities, telecommunication providers and data center operators in particular benefit from the right IT infrastructure management solution. Such a solution provides a better overview of the IT infrastructure, which enables organizations to identify important trends or risks more quickly and make better decisions. Downtimes are also reduced due to accelerated maintenance processes, changes can be carried out more quickly and services can be provided faster. IT processes become more efficient and companies benefit from lower total operating costs with fewer staff. 

The more complex and critical infrastructures are, the greater the impact of these advantages of an IT infrastructure management solution, i.e. the higher the expected return on investment.  

How does an IT infrastructure management solution reduce administrative work?

With a software solution for efficient IT infrastructure management, you can save your employees considerable administrative effort on maintaining a range of systems. This is because all relevant information on IT infrastructure elements is stored in one single tool and partial solutions, which often lack integration, are no longer necessary. 

You will also be creating the basis for strategic evolution of your IT infrastructures. Having a complete overview of an IT environment and the underlying infrastructure makes it possible to identify redundancies more quickly, cut back uncontrolled growth of systems, and introduce uniform standards. A well-thought-out IT architecture, based on as few tools and applications as possible, facilitates the creation of high-performance interfaces and thus the introduction of automated processes and procedures. This further reduces the administrative effort required and saves costs.
