It’s quite common for business networks to expand in unexpected, unknown, and unplanned ways. Consequently, businesses often find themselves in a situation where they’ve lost track of their IT assets and the intricate workings of their IT environment. In addition a business may be inwitingly or perhaps consciously managing through technical debt.

This lack of clarity raises several critical questions:  

• Is the network operating optimally?  
• Are you operating end of life equipment in critical network areas? 
• Are you overpaying for network carriage? 
• Is there unnecessary spending on unused software and licensing? 
• Is software kept up to date and away from critical vulnerabilities?  
• Are your equipment configurations correct and secure?
• Do you have an accurate equipment list?
• Do you have any security gaps? 
• Is your wireless network optimised?

The most common issue is not knowing what is on your network and the roles and activities of each device, endpoint, server, etc.  Managing through technical debt has it’s own disadvanages. For example, putting off infrastructure refreshes, may leave a business open to:

• vulnerabilities (cyber security issues)
• operational inefficiencies
• capacity constraints throtting business efficiency or process flow
• vendor support issues
• increased hardware failures
• lack of competitiveness because of non performant IT infrastructure
• the list goes on
