Problems
1. Extensive amount of under-utilized servers taking up more space and consuming more resources than can be justified by the amount of work they are actually doing. This is known as IT server sprawl. This causes a continual need for additional resources to manage infrastructure including funds, manpower and equipment for repairs.
2. Parts of the network are unmanaged, and risks are anticipated as a consequence.
3. The company believes the network system in place is not scalable due to projected demand over the next 5-10 years based on their new corporate plan. Meaning they do not think the current network will be able to cope with the predicted future usage as the company grows.
4. Due to security requirements as a result of a financial contract, the internal network is separated into three physical networks – FINCON (for the financial services contract), GEN (general use including for personal devices), and CORP (for corporate devices only).
5. Organisation does not manage personal devices at the present time in any way. This could allow viruses or other adware to access the organisations network, if they are on the device when it connects to the network.
6. At times there is often a need, due to a new project, to locate server resources on a particular corporate site. Unfortunately at present if a project on a corporate site requires localised resources, these are not provisioned and instead the projec...

In the past the Chicago Tribune maintained applications for their operations on mainframes at two different locations. This was causing the mainframes to be underutilized and was costly to maintain both systems. While merging the 2 systems the Chicago Tribune experienced a five hour outage because a small piece of software written for the transition contained a coding error that caused the Tribune's editorial applications to experience intermittent processing failures. As a result, the Tribune was forced to delay delivery to about 40 percent of its 680,000 readers and cut 24 pages from a Monday edition, costing the newspaper nearly $1 million in advertising revenue.

The issue comes in deciding what services are needed and by whom, and thu...
