Continuous network improvement is easy and cost effective

Technology Lifecycle Management Assessment

If you have basic questions about how ready your IT infrastructure is to be a business-enabling tool and want to pro-actively manage your IT infrastructure assets, you may want to consider a Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) Assessment.

The Assessment offers a complete view of your IT infrastructure and assets on your network, as well as insight and prioritised recommendations, empowering you to make informed, timely decisions that can enhance your business operations. Effective network asset planning can unlock greater efficiencies through extending the working life of targeted assets that have reached end-of-support and by avoiding unplanned and expensive emergency repairs and replacements.

The TLM Assessment is an IT infrastructure and network asset assessment service that discovers installed network assets, identifies their lifecycle status, and determines maintenance coverage. This service also ensures that organisations do not expose themselves to unnecessary risk, by assisting with the alignment of their network estate to configuration, security and patch management best practices.

Service Features
Technology Lifecycle Management Assessment:

Identifies all assets deployed within your IT and network infrastructure
Creates an asset database
Identifies Identifies all assets that have reached, or will soon reach, the end of lifecycle
Identifies the maintenance status of the discovered devices
Analyses device configuration for security and network configuration best practices
Analyses device operating system version and patch revisions against the deployed configurations, to determine security and downtime risk
The TLM Assessment is the start of Datacraft's Technology Lifecycle Management approach, which delivers a range of operational and commercial benefits including:

Reduced mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) - The detailed asset list gives organisations visibility of and promotes the standardisation of the equipment in their IT infrastructure environment, leading to improved trouble-shooting when equipment fails.

Reduced security risk - Facilitates the standardisation of router, switch and advanced technology device releases and configurations through proper identification and cataloguing of the installed device base. Patches and upgrades can be prioritised based on their relevance in relation to the overall IT strategy and vulnerability profile. Standardisation, in turn, minimises the risk for human error and undiscovered equipment being left exposed to security threats.

Reduced operational expense through standardisation - The identification of hardware and software which is in, or approaching end-of support, gives organisations the opportunity to update and standardise technology to ensure manufacturer support. Using the latest technology and integrated devices will also:

Reduce the number of standalone appliances that require support and manufacturer maintenance contracts
Reduce risk for downtime due to fewer unforeseen device failures
Reduce the learning curve and potential training needs

Identify best practice - Best practice configuration ensures maximum security and consistency, as well as regulatory compliance. The analysis and recommendations included in the service enables organisations to benchmark their configurations against industry best practice.
