Progressing Toward the Autonomous Enterprise
Intelligent automation (IA) technologies have become the top driver of many digital transformations due to the distributed workforce challenges impacting IT operations. According to UiPath, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16 percent, the global market for technology that enables automation will reach $30 billion by the end of 2024.
While adopting IA technologies can minimize manual efforts and enhance workforce and customer experiences, many organizations are not moving fast enough to keep pace with industry change — or investing in siloed projects without a comprehensive plan to realize the full benefits of their transformation. In either case, the value enterprises receive from IA significantly decreases.
The key to realizing the highest ROI is to evaluate your current infrastructure efficiency through analytics, identify areas well-suited for automation, and learn how to update your network infrastructure to be compatible with intelligent systems.
From these data-driven insights, you can develop a successful enterprise-wide IA strategy based on the unique needs of your existing infrastructure.
What is Infrastructure Benchmarking?
Infrastructure benchmarking is a multi-faceted procedure that provides an independent perspective to help organizations understand where their infrastructure capabilities lie on the digital maturity curve, both in absolute and competitive terms.
The insights are based on benchmarking the client’s infrastructure capabilities against peers and the best in class across industries. This helps organizations learn where gaps in their infrastructure environment are vis-a-vis the competition, so they know where to invest their time, effort, and resources to maximize the value and performance of their IT initiatives.
Trianz’ Approach to Infrastructure Benchmarking
Our infrastructure benchmarking services are powered by over 1.5 million data points, along with primary research and further data collection capabilities. With access to business leaders across more than 40,000 companies from various-sized segments, industries, and geographies, we can quickly gather fresh perspectives to address any relevant questions that may improve the cost or performance of your infrastructure.
Using a data-driven approach, as well as a series of comprehensive surveys, we establish a multi-stage model we call the “Digital Enterprise Evolution Model” or DEEM.
