Unified IT Management

Remove silos and align IT teams to deliver a better IT experience for everyone.

What is Unified IT Management?

Unified IT operations (UITO) focuses on reducing technological, interpersonal, and operational silos within IT teams and with end-users to minimize risk, improve productivity, and deliver a better IT experience for everyone.

Unlike traditional approaches to IT, unified IT operations aligns the entire IT organization around the goal of driving business growth and productivity by avoiding, negating, and solving business user pain. By focusing on user outcomes, unified IT operations highlights the impact of IT on business growth and elevates IT operations to a strategic business contributor.

Unified IT operations includes all aspects of IT management including IT service management, systems administration, network and infrastructure management, applications management, and security.

The Unified IT Ops Framework

Centralize and consolidate IT operations

IT teams use too many tools to monitor their infrastructure, manage servers, support end-users, and secure their environment. Often, different teams in the same company will use competing tools to accomplish the same tasks. IT leaders can break down siloes, reduce cost, and improve security by centralizing and consolidating their IT management stack and building a single source of truth for IT.

Make automation part of your DNA

Complex tasks are prone to human error and repetitive tasks take time away from critical projects. IT teams must invest in automation to drive standardization, reduce human error, and drive radical efficiency across all IT function. Mature automation drives better technician outcomes and allows IT to focus more on strategic outcomes.

Get the most out of the resources you have

IT resources never scale at the same rate as businesses do. IT teams are almost always overworked and understaffed and often the tools IT teams use contribute to this. IT teams need to leverage tools that drive adoption through ease-of-use, intuitiveness, and minimal learning curve to ensure their resources are spent effectively.

Build for the distributed workforce

Remote, field, hybrid, and distributed workers can no longer be seen as an exception. The tools IT teams use, the processes they build, and the support they provide must be remote-first, even for employees in the office. Centralizing and consolidating around cloud-managed tools reduces costs, reduces complexity, and drives better outcomes for both IT and end-users.

Why now?

The way we work is changing. IT teams have not had the bandwidth or time to adjust their own processes. While productivity suites and end-user applications have transitioned to a cloud-based SaaS model that supports modern work environments, IT tools have lagged behind, requiring on-premises, network- or domain-based models to deliver services.

The above chart shows the percentage of IT teams leveraging on-premises versions of software versus cloud-based solutions. Based on a 2021 Ninja survey.

That model works well for traditional location-based work environments, but treats remote and distributed employees as second-class citizens. With almost two-thirds of American employees working at least partially remote in 2022, IT teams need to unify IT operations to deliver modern IT services.

Your world without Unified IT Ops

Without a unified approach to IT operations, your IT team is likely using dozens of tools to monitor infrastructures, support end users, manage endpoints, and maintain your network. Those tools are often either poorly integrated or not integrated at all, leading to constant context switching, unaligned sources of truth, higher costs, and inefficient workflows.
