About Infrastructure Management

For an organization’s information technology, infrastructure management (IM) is the management of essential operation components, such as policies, processes, equipment, data, human resources, and external contacts, for overall effectiveness. Infrastructure management is sometimes divided into categories of systems management, network management, and storage management.

Among other purposes, infrastructure management seeks to:

Reduce duplication of effort
Ensure adherence to standards
Enhance the flow of information throughout an 4.information system
Promote adaptability necessary for a changeable environment
Ensure interoperability among organizational and external entities
Maintain effective change management policies and practices

Although all business activities depend upon the infrastructure, planning and projects to ensure its effective management are typically undervalued to the detriment of the organization.
