Specialization and Automation saves

 Specialization and the Division of Labor has benefited society  for thousands of years. Companies large and small outsource  IT to gain the benefits of specialization. During 2008 large  medical organization spent an average of 11% on outsourcing  largely due to specialization needs and advantages.

If you were about to have open heart surgery, would you have  a specialist or your general family doctor do the work? Of  course you would choose the specialist. He would do a better  job and do it much quicker. Why not apply that mode of  thinking to your business IT? IT can be as complex as  medicine; the difference is that the life of the business instead  of human life hangs in the balance. The bottom line is  specialist get the job done better and quicker.

Automating tasks is another way to find great savings and it’s simple. There are many tasks in IT that should be automated. Updates, tune-ups, restore points there is a long list. Why have IT Mary go to each computer and check that the Microsoft updates were installed when an automated process can do that for her? The key to avoiding the pitfalls of IT automation is to monitor the automated scripts and errors to insure the automated processes are working. There are many of types software’s to accomplish the goal. The better ones are bundled into some form of Managed Network Services that offer the monitoring and alerting as well. They have become commoditized so you can spend pennies to save dollars. The savings will come as labor time saved and less computer downtime as a result of good maintenance.
