Do you know which resources you already own are actually being used? How do you know what additional resources you need? Before you can plan and budget for additional infrastructure resources, you need to know what you have, what you are using, and how well your IT services are running on those existing resources. This presentation will discuss how you can cost-effectively right-size your IT infrastructure to meet the changing needs of your business.

8. Broadcasting Company:
BCO will help to impress on
business managers the
importance of far-reaching
capacity planning
Avoided 20
major incidents
with focused capacity
management
“BCO allows us to pull all the information from…
about 10 different health tools…, and it puts all
that in a database and then we can analyze that
with a view to looking at long-term trends.”
“… rather than talking in terms of megabytes or
gigabytes we talk in terms of number of
customers, or number of TV channels with active
users – that's a much more mature conversation
you can have with a business ,and that's our
ultimate goal really.”
