e-Book – A Framework for Strategic Infrastructure Management


This e-book proposes a strategic approach to infrastructure management as opposed to a cost-centric or enablement approach currently prevalent in many organizations. CIOs, leaders of an internal support function can learn why it is important to take a strategic view to both the IT function and IT Infrastructure. Excellent Read!! (400 pages)


How can a CIO improve the performance of IT infrastructure and create value for the organization?

Sometimes, answers lie outside the immediate realm of the problem being solved - one can learn from others how they are approaching the same issue and apply that learning to our own problem.

The author studied current infrastructure management practices - objectives and processes - at infrastructure driven companies to reach a conclusion: Infrastructure is managed as a support function to the business. Is that the right approach to maximize value delivered?

This study proposes a framework to manage infrastructure as a strategic asset. It identifies core capabilities that are critical to the successful implementation of this framework. Then, proposes a maturity model for these capabilities to assess performance and evolution over time. A complete guide to managing infrastructure as a strategic asset not a support or enabler or cost center.

An excellent discussion that CIOs adapt to their own IT organizations.
