Study finds IT leaders are fed-up with mundane routine

A recent survey of over 500 IT professionals, carried out by INAP, revealed that IT professionals have a strong desire to see their roles and responsibilities change. The report found that they want to move away from infrastructure upkeep and focus on value-added activities instead, and who can blame them. With technology offering interesting and challenging digital transformation projects that offer competitive advantage for businesses, why would ambitious IT professionals want to spend most of their time just keeping the lights on? According to the findings, nearly 8 in 10 IT professionals believe they could bring more value to the business if they spent less time on routine tasks. So, when most of your time is consumed by routine technology management and firefighting, how do you make room to innovate?

One of the easiest ways to do this is to outsource the day-to-day management of your infrastructure to an IT support partner. This not only provides room to innovate but it also frees up your evenings to improve that work-life balance.
