To Our Valued Customer,
Welcome to August! This month focuses on Capacity Planning, a common dilemma for business. For many businesses managing growth of IT capacity, is usually conducted in a reactionary fashion. As your company grows, the need to adjust IT infrastructure and competency to support your business development is intensified. Consequently, your existing IT may be restricting your business affecting your bottom line.
Learn more about the necessity of IT capacity planning in this month’s article titled ‘Is your business capacity growing faster than your business performance.’ In addition, to gain a deeper understanding of Capacity Planning, feel free to contact your Account Manager directly to talk about your current business situation. We are also conducting a Breakfast Box on Thursday 2nd September on this critical subject. I encourage you to attend and experience firsthand the benefits associated with an Andor Managed Services solution.
Until next time...
Warm Regards,

Is your business capacity growing faster than your business performance? "Proper planning prevents poor performance" We have all heard of or know this saying well and yes there are many alternate versions, but for many individuals this may be considered as just another business cliché. Nonetheless, this motto can be applied to any business type in any department. It provides a simple reminder emphasising the importance of planning in all facets of businesses, especially your IT environment to ensure high productivity and high performance. Businesses are constantly changing, developing and growing. Therefore, the understanding and appreciation of capacity planning for future development and progress is the cornerstone of business success. Understanding business capacity is often viewed as a challenge or seen as a tedious and time consuming task. Businesses tend to be so caught up with daily operations and the normal goings on of internal processes that they forget to look ahead of their current situation and plan for our future expansion or growth. It is very common for an organisation to manage their internal processes in a reactionary fashion and will wait to correct processes or problems as staff report them, or ineffective internal systems are exposed. This can be very harmful to business success and flow.

Capacity planning is becoming far more complicated as network infrastructures continue to develop into more complex systems that encompass a variety of traditional IT services such as; estimating the space available on servers, availability and usage of hardware or CPU’s, software compliance and licenses as well as necessary infrastructure resources that will be required over a period of time. Effective capacity planning for your business success should encompass an IT plan to ensure your costs are anticipated and budgeted for. Rapid or consistent growth is good, but when it’s impeded by underperforming or under-specified IT solutions, it can be very costly to your productivity or quality of delivery. Creating a resilient business structure will provide your business with an agile, available and recoverable environment. It is vital for any business to have an IT infrastructure that reflects this to handle planned and unplanned events. It is also vitally important to understand the link between business structure and IT infrastructure for business productivity and achievement. If a capacity plan is done well you will be ready for any changes that may arise (good or bad) and will not inhibit your business from new growth and expansion. Proper planning ensures a healthy IT network environment that can grow with you to meet future business needs. Talk to one of our account managers today to find out how we can help support you create an effective capacity plan for your IT environment.
