Framework for IT Complexity and Simplification Levers PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Levers of IT Simplification PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for simplifying IT operations by identifying 6 areas of complexity and corresponding levers for simplification. It emphasizes that each complexity area can be directly linked to a specific lever, which facilitates a more streamlined IT environment.
The first lever, Intelligent Demand Management, focuses on understanding the IT resources and cost drivers necessary for daily operations. This approach enables managers to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and effectively utilize limited resources. The goal here is to maximize value through clarity in IT demand.
The second lever, Application and Data Simplification, encourages organizations to evaluate their entire application portfolio. This includes identifying opportunities to consolidate or decommission applications that are no longer necessary. It also suggests defining data landscapes more clearly, which can help eliminate complex interfaces and replace them with simpler alternatives. This simplification can lead to more efficient data management.
The third lever, Infrastructure-Technology-Pattern Reduction, aims to minimize the variety of configurations across hardware and software. The focus is on automating and streamlining IT deployments through standardization. This lever seeks to reduce the complexity inherent in managing diverse IT infrastructures, which can often lead to inefficiencies and increased operational costs.
Overall, the slide serves as a strategic guide for organizations looking to simplify their IT processes, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and effectiveness in operations. It provides actionable insights that can help executives make better decisions regarding their IT strategies.
