How to mend the weak links in your device lifecycle chain
Solve challenges today and drive future business value with end-to-end lifecycle management.
Today, organizations of all sizes possess highly sophisticated IT ecosystems. This complexity is required to realize the business outcomes promised by digital transformation. Many businesses work with vendors to help manage their robust IT infrastructure.
However, a scattered vendor portfolio can hurt your digital transformation success.
Multiple vendors hinder rather than help when they:
- Lack shared communication and cooperation.
- Fail to resolve issues quickly by passing on responsibility for the fix.
- Obscure visibility into your IT environment.
- Inflate IT costs through redundant services or functionalities.
47% of enterprises are managing more than 10 vendor relationships. Only 17% of organizations believe it’s easy to manage their multivendor environments.
Simplification leads to efficiency.
Modern device management and IT vendor consolidation — if undertaken correctly, alongside the right partners — can drive greater business value. A partner with extensive capabilities can mend the breaks in your multivendor device lifecycle chain by reducing costs, being proactive and providing a single contact to resolve issues faster — helping you get on a simpler path to digital transformation.
