Solutions » Manage the challenge of infrastructure change

Staying abreast of day-to-day changes in your IT-infrastructure is a challenge.

Making changes to IT infrastructure is often difficult and risky.
A change to one component can have cascading effects on the other components.

The change process itself is complex and usually involves multiple, interdependant tasks, many of which are performed manually. For example, if you base decisions on out-of-date configuration data, you may install a security patch that causes a system failure. But if your change management process has access to accurate configuration data, you can plan IT changes effectively, reducing incidents and downtime.

Greater control over your infrastructure will also reduce its complexity, saving support costs.

In many cases, organizations implement change management with processes that are fragmented, undocumented , or nonexistent. Manual management and ad-hoc processes allow too many omissions and exceptions, often introducing other problems to manage. Custom integration of point solutions is inefficient and fragile.

To address these challenges of Change, Osiatis can help IT organizations in a cost effective way to:

• Document exactly what is in the IT environment and how it is configured

• Establish repeatable and enforceable processes, based on best practices for managing the complete change lifecycle and enforcing the appropriate investigation, planning, risk mitigation, checks and balances, and links with business needs
• Automate change management processes where possible ro reduce the time and cost of changes, as well as the errors inherent in manual processes
