BIS Data Centre Survey Reveals IT Innovation on a Tight Budget
LONDON, December 9, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
- Upgrades, Storage, Networks and Budgets are IT Managers' Chief Concerns
for 2011
UK IT teams are delivering technology change and managing data
growth on tightening budgets according to a new 2011 IT Managers viewpoint
survey conducted on behalf of BIS Limited, a leading owner and operator of
secure, expertly managed London data centres and outsourced IT services.
According to the new survey of over 250 London IT Managers,
62% of survey respondents rank managing technology upgrades as their top 2011
challenge. This was followed by budget constraints at 55%, storage growth at
47%, network congestion and reliability at 44% and application management and
support at 40%.
"The pace of technology change is accelerating as IT managers
virtualise servers, storage, desktops and applications to save costs on the
one hand; and struggle with the additional costs required for exponential
data growth and network congestion and reliability on the other," said Brian
Packer, Operations Director of BIS Limited. "Given that cost control is
likely to remain a key focus for most organisations throughout 2011, it's
important to find the right flexible IT partner who can help implement change
cost-effectively."
Many IT Managers are now dealing with an ageing IT
infrastructure as they deferred investments due to the global economic
conditions in 2009 and 2010. Network congestion and connectivity are also
becoming more problematic as the trend to centralise services continues. This
has increased WAN reliance, especially as individual users are increasingly
working remotely or going mobile.
BIS has already seen a 21% uplift in its 2010 revenues as new
clients shun the big name IT managed service brands in favour of its more
flexible, supportive and cost-effective approach. Whilst price remains
important, BIS has noticed a shift in buyers purchasing criteria towards
responsiveness and one-stop value added services.
