In the face of emerging technologies, most businesses struggle with security breaches, gaps in applications and middleware, unanticipated costs, and revenue losses. But those businesses that can leverage IT strategically enjoy higher cost savings and ease the complexities of new tech adoption. Business technology management is critical for enterprises to identify non-performing technology investments and upgrade their tech stack to stay relevant, competitive, and profitable.
WHY BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT?
Global expenditure on public cloud infrastructure capabilities and services is expected to increase by 100% in the forecast period of 2019-2023. According to a report from IDC, the spending on the public cloud is expected to grow to approximately $500 billion by 2023.1
As per CNBC, new-age mobile applications are helping SMEs save up to 725 million work hours per year.2 In addition, organizations with more resources than SMBs are prioritizing IT and are satisfactorily adopting emerging technologies 500% faster than startups and small businesses.3
These intense areas of growth mean that businesses in all industries and of all sizes are rapidly leveraging technology to stay competitive. It is critical for organizations to ensure their technology systems are updated and fit for use if they want to keep pace with the evolving technology landscape. They should invest in business technology management to assess whether every part of their technology mix offers value or not. This investment can transform their IT preparedness with strategies to shape processes and tools for the future.
If your business is lagging in technology adoption, these three guiding steps will enable better monitoring, maintenance, and management of your software applications, patches, modules, and IT equipment.
