Effective IT operations knowledge can help organizations optimize their IT infrastructure, improve IT agility, and achieve desired business outcomes.

IT operations knowledge may include:

  1. Understanding IT infrastructure: Organizations should understand their IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network infrastructure, to identify potential areas for optimization.
  2. Monitoring IT performance: Organizations should monitor IT performance, including server performance, network performance, and application performance, to identify potential areas for improvement.
  3. Managing IT incidents: Organizations should have processes in place to manage IT incidents, such as server failures, network outages, and security breaches.
  4. Ensuring compliance: Organizations should ensure compliance with relevant regulations and industry standards, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
