2017 IT department priority # 1: hunting infrastructure costs

In 2017 the priorities of  Information Technology Director evolve and according to a study  IDC/Syntec numérique, 64% of them consider the hunt for infrastructure costs as priority number 1.

In parallel, investment in the cloud is also increasing, + 6% for the public cloud, + 12% for the private sector, and a clear desire to continue to invest in the cloud, public and especially private.

These figures and development intentions demonstrate the need to reconcile hunting with infrastructure costs and investments in the private or public cloud.
To succeed, it is essential to properly manage and rationalize its IT infrastructure internally, in particular the virtualization part that carries the majority of the infrastructure.
Without these steps, it is not possible to avoid infrastructure costs while investing.
