Overly complex IT management tools are costing firms in the UK millions and reducing their efficiency, it has been revealed.
Research carried out by software solutions provider OpTier found 57 per cent of IT managers believe the lack of a single management approach is adding an extra layer of complexity to their operations.
A further 72 per cent of businesses stated they are relying on server and network uptime as a measure of business service visibility.
Motti Tal, founder and business development manager of the group, commented: "[Businesses] must remember that complexity costs money and taking a simple, holistic view at the transaction management level can be the key to not only quick problem resolution, but, vitally, to problem avoidance and IT cost reduction."
