Optimizing Your IT Infrastructure for Your Employees Benefit

Information technology is one of the most vital components of the modern workspace. While many offices are switching to cloud services to handle all their data solutions, there are many benefits to managing your in-house network.

Employees stand to gain the most from managing IT infrastructure. From greater transparency to improved efficiency, these networks offer the support you need to stay on top of the tech trends of the current era.

However, optimizing your IT infrastructure may not seem clear or beneficial at first glance. Here’s what you should know.

The Benefits of Optimizing Office Networks

Many offices, in the course of adopting hybrid and remote work policies, recognize the need for an IT infrastructure that offers them greater accessibility and transparency. Such an infrastructure can add to the control you have over all kinds of organizational processes.

Right now, companies need organizational efficiency as well as transparency. Whether your IT infrastructure consists of a closed network operated out of company property or is managed through a third-party, these traits ensure that employees can interact across a secure platform and better manage their own workflows.

Nutanix is one recent example of an IT infrastructure upgrade to meet the demands of the modern workforce and big data. With scalable object data management and storage capacity, the platform offers cloud data and controllable solutions for your network needs.

Optimized IT infrastructures like these are increasingly in demand facing pandemic shifts and the subsequent burden of cybercrime. Among many benefits, these smooth systems of vital business technology offer:

  • Improved productivity through smooth and unified communication.
  • Waste and energy reduction through consolidated server usage.
  • Stronger networks through improved network function visualization.

Each of these overall network improvements can be an invaluable gift to your employees, bringing with it simpler processes and automation. But that’s far from the extent of what optimized IT infrastructures can do for a workforce.

How Optimized IT Helps Employees

By serving the needs of employees, IT brings exceptional value to the functions of any business. Optimized IT is one of the key reasons that the top five US tech companies are now valued at more than $5 trillion. A carefully optimized IT infrastructure achieves this by streamlining employee effectiveness and satisfaction in one of the following three categories:

Communication

Optimized IT infrastructures keep the flow of work functioning as it needs to. This requires the staff and software to bridge systems and people in an ecosystem of clear and effective information management. The results can mean improved communication flows that mitigate the loss of data and objectives.

IT systems are complex, and clarity within them and regarding them can be invaluable to a business approach towards better communication. For instance, even the title “computer systems administrator” versus “computer systems analyst” can be a point of confusion for the average person. Yet, these experts play their separate roles in maintaining network security and optimization flow so that our email applications and data storage networks can function properly and safely.

Efficiency

The scalability of an IT infrastructure is dependent upon its level of efficiency. Fortunately, optimizing your infrastructure to accommodate new and emerging tech can make all the difference in valuable data collection and analytics.

For example, artificial intelligence devices and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are reshaping the future of work. Soon, as much as 42% of task hours could be completed by automated systems. This leaves employees to innovate new methods of conducting business and grow revenues while increasing overall productivity.

But IT systems must first have the security elements needed to protect these components.

Strength

A well-optimized IT infrastructure brings network strength and data security to the businesses that invest in them. Considering that 47% of individuals are liable to fall for a phishing scam when working from home, this strength is a necessity for any company looking to avoid data breaches that can cost $137,000 on average.

Optimized infrastructures give businesses the toolset to automate the catching of malicious attacks while at the same time offering greater flexibility to communicate and work in tandem. Facing the commonality of remote work, it can be difficult to keep conducting innovative practices like group brainstorm sessions. Effective IT platforms, however, allow employees to seamlessly and safely network with one another.

With improved communication, efficiency, and strength in their digital business processes, employees can make the most of all their work—be it remote or in-office.

Streamlining Business through Effective IT

Without a thorough assessment of IT infrastructure, however, these benefits aren’t so accessible.

Assessing your infrastructure means consistently going over what works and what doesn’t. This is one of the best management practices you can undertake in IT. By asking constant questions about where improvements can be made and costs can be reduced, you stand to produce a safer and more optimized network for conducting your business.

Streamline your business through effective IT. It will improve the workflow and satisfaction of your employees and turn out higher profits as a result.
