The IT Environment

Welcome to the Enterprise Digital Duo, a resource focused on helping business operators organize, monitor, and manage the information technology components within an organization.

Many industry leaders are experts in their roles, but may be hesitant to implement technology solutions into the workflow of the enterprise as to not disrupt operation. They may even feel daunted by the many options available or confusing pricing structures.

At first glance, one might say the IT environment of an enterprise consists of the computers at desks or servers in a closet down the hall. To expand, one might even say the internet tools or extra devices like printers are involved. While all of this is true, the reality is that the IT environment is vast. It includes not only devices, but people, roles, permissions, policies, and practices.

Before choosing technology solutions or moving toward implementing them into a live production environment, take the time to get organized. Try to identify these items within your enterprise:

• Devices

• Systems

• People

• Roles

• Access

• Policy

Explore the multiple layers that connect and build to form a strong IT environment in the first episode of the Enterprise Digital Duo podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Keep an eye out for our next post and check out our Patreon for bonus content.
