Windows administrators need to radically simplify both complex and routine tasks if they are going to effectively respond to the constant pressure to deliver increasing value with limited resources. The most effective thing Windows administrators can do to address this issue is to minimize duties associated with maintaining the existing infrastructure.

IT groups must support many applications and servers across multiple platforms that frequently operate independently of each other. However, coordinating job scheduling across all these applications and networks is often required to optimize resource utilization. The traditional approach of applying more staff, toolkits, and rudimentary scheduling software to cobble together automated batch processing solutions becomes cost-prohibitive, inefficient, and error-prone, as the number of moving parts increases and the environment becomes more heterogeneous.

It can take time and considerable energy for a growing business to finally put in place processes and procedures that really work. Of course, the solutions for today’s problems are not likely to be the right ones for tomorrow, never mind two or three years out. The key is to have an adaptable, flexible organization that anticipates change (or at least can accommodate it) rather than one that is disrupted and confounded by new developments.
