In today's fast paced and highly competitive world, IT is a critical enabler of business. Properly designed business IT systems enable increased adaptability and responsiveness, reduce capital and operational costs and ultimately improve company efficiency. However, to optimize all the benefits of technological innovations, businesses must ensure their networks are designed with the future in mind. It is no longer cost effective to be trapped in wholly proprietary systems where each new advance creates adoption challenges rather than opportunities. To maintain a competitive edge, companies must invest in best-of-breed technology that integrates or overlays into their existing network, with the best network design invariably resulting in a multi-vendor IT system.
