Catalyst for change (network management)
R. Marshall · Information Professional · 2006
Intelligent infrastructure management (IIM) can provide the missing link between network management tools and cabling infrastructures connecting network devices. Users require the tools to ensure that communications across existing structures are uninterrupted. The implementation of intelligent infrastructure management (IIM) architecture could boost this change, and bring about a more stable organisational culture. The most obvious benefits of IIM are savings in time, resources, and manpower, in provisioning services. Another important impact of IIM is that it will make it virtually impossible for users to reconfigure their own system and when they try, the IT department will automatically know. Thus IIM will allow you to bring in enforceable policies that make a system more robust.
