Information Technology Challenges

Lower IT Costs: Change management is time consuming and prone to errors.
Reduce Downtime Caused by Configuration Changes: Not only is it difficult to correlate outages to changes, once a configuration error is made, but it is also difficult to restore the device to the last known trusted configuration.
Network Configuration Control: An IT network is at risk without a central, up-to-date repository of all configuration files across all vendors for change management, monitoring, reporting, auditing, and disaster recovery.
Monitor & Report Change Discrepancies: It is difficult to determine quickly "What changed?" when responding to network problems or intrusions.
Comprehensive Change Reports: Compiling change reports for multiple audiences (e.g., CM team, external auditors, IT manager, security manager, network engineers) is time consuming
