Your dinosaur tech is big and unwieldy. It needs a complex supportive infrastructure just to get it through the day. It depends on skills which are getting harder to find.

And it eats money too.

When the world changed, the dinosaurs didn’t. That’s why they died out. The same goes for dinosaur tech.

It’s a legacy from a different era when things could move more slowly, didn’t have to be so adaptable, and there was more cash to keep them fed.

Even the dinosaur handlers with the skills to keep legacy tech working are getting harder to find.

That’s why big brutal dinosaur tech has had its day. And it belongs in a museum, not in your business.

Money Stacks

Megacostatonne Consumes vast amounts of money and other resources. Holds back evolution.

One theory is that a meteorite killed off the dinosaurs. Another is that it was simply faster, more versatile creatures that stole the food from right under their noses. Something similarly disruptive is happening today. Only this time it’s digital.

Digital disruption will disrupt your business by changing how you collect, store and handle data. Throw in GDPR as another complicating factor, and by comparison the dinosaurs had it easy. But unlike the dinosaurs, your business can evolve.

However complicated it might seem, with the right advice and careful prioritisation, you can change and evolve your I.T. from a cost centre to a value centre.

Some businesses once thought they were “too big to fail.” You know how that turned out. Now some believe they’re too big to change.

Too complex to migrate to the cloud. Too tangled up in their infrastructure and architecture to evolve to something slicker, quicker and less costly.

That’s the dinosaur scenario. And you know how that turned out too.

You can keep your data compliant – and make it more useful and valuable to you.

You can use your technology to move your business forward strategically instead of letting it hold you back.

You can even evolve your payment model from CAPEX to OPEX, so you only pay for the tech you need, when you need it.

IT’S TIME TO EVOLVE

There were a few evolutionary wrong turns on the way from the Brontosaurus to Bill Gates.

So if you don’t have millions of years to perfect the evolution of your I.T., you’ll need advice and guidance. Otherwise you might lose the dinosaur mainframe, but end up with the dodo platform.

We can advise on the right tech choices to ensure you get the best-of-breed. We can help you make investments in tech that will fit your business strategy as well as your budget.

And our Cloud Migration Factory approach puts an Agile Competency Centre on-site or nearby, to provide you with the specialist skills required to move your old and outdated platforms to the cloud, quickly and easily.

It’s an approach that’s practical, manageable, and ensures you don’t leave people or data behind. Just your costly dinosaur tech.

That’s why big brutal tech has had its day. Flexibility and agility are what businesses need to survive.
