Top Challenges Facing I&O Leaders in 2018, and What to Do About Them

Infrastructure & operations leaders are faced with significant challenges in 2018. If not addressed, these could have significant negative impacts on the business – and on their careers. The steps outlined in this research can improve I&O’s capabilities to more effectively support the digital business.

Infrastructure & operations leaders responsible for building and sustaining dependable infrastructure should:

  • Plan today for the edge, and not the centralized data center, to become a growing, significant part of your digital IT infrastructure portfolios by accounting for the shift in workload locations.
  • Link your data center successes to business successes by identifying the systems, services or applications that have the most direct impact on the company’s mission and/or revenue.
  • Improve decision making by weighing modernization options based on the challenges of employee retention, business value of affected workloads, and the cost and effort of migration.
  • Establish the skills, tools and processes for a dynamic, hybrid environment by partnering with HR to conduct an inventory of skills and competencies, and to identify training opportunities and areas of potential vulnerability.
