Data Center Transformation

The demands on data centers have never been greater. IT agility, service quality and spending now have a direct correlation on business imperatives such as revenue, productivity and reputation. Organizations are therefore increasingly concerned with how well essential IT functions are delivered and maintained – and at what price. Symantec Consulting Services can help your company address the technical challenges of infrastructure complexity while delivering management and operational excellence, thereby transforming your data center into a driver of business value and innovation.

Data Center Standardization

Heterogeneous computing environments can become costly and difficult to manage. Symantec can help you standardize your IT environment, systems management tools, and configurations to improve operational efficiency, reduce complexity and costs, and mitigate downtime.

Data Center Consolidation

Most IT managers today are tasked with the dilemma of growing storage and server capacity without growing their IT budget or the data center footprint. Symantec consultants can help you consolidate and migrate data center facilities, reduce the number of disparate products from multiple vendors, and eliminate wasteful server and storage overcapacity through optimized asset management.

Data Center Automation

Operational labor costs are the single largest enterprise item in IT budgets. Manual, ad-hoc processes and incident responses create opportunities for error and staff overload, and put production work at risk. Symantec’s experienced professionals can help improve operational efficiency, reduce latency and lower costs by automating routine systems operations.

Application Service Management

In the networked age, your employees, customers, partners and suppliers have demanding requirements and expect application services to be available, scalable, and secure. Symantec consultants can help you manage end-user quality of service in the face of changing needs.

IT Process Management

To meet the growing pressure to align IT service management with the IT-dependent requirements of the business, successful companies take advantage of best practices. Symantec can help your organization improve the quality of your service management through the definition, adoption, and enforcement of best practices and processes related to IT roles and operational activities.

IT Governance

To ensure that the best interests of your business and its employees are served by IT in a cost-effective manner, proper controls and policies are needed. Symantec consultants bring extensive experience across the governance spectrum including regulatory compliance, risk management, availability, cost control, auditing, financial management, and other disciplines required to achieve a high level of business/IT alignment.

IT Business Management

Information technology ranks highly among most companies’ top five expenditures. Yet, many enterprises struggle in their attempts to manage IT as any other functional business unit. Symantec can help you manage IT as a business with service standards, budget guidelines, and metrics for measuring value and success.
