All good IT professionals will find working on exciting projects that have a real effect on the business, much more fulfilling and fulfilled staff means less sickness or lateness, increased productivity and reduced staff turnover.
Of course, the well-documented benefits of virtualisation are also vital.
By sharing the resources of a single computer across multiple environments, today’s financial services companies are freed from physical and geographical limitations.
Alongside energy savings, they are experiencing higher availability of resources, improved disaster recovery processes, tighter security and more efficient desktop management as well as better use of hardware, leading to reduced capital expenditure.
So while the green benefits of power, space and heat reduction are a beneficial by-product of a virtualised environment, they shouldn’t be the business drivers for investing.
While the market remains focussed on these issues, financial organisations are missing a trick in taking advantage of virtualisation as a technology to make companies more agile, efficient and competitive, while dramatically reducing spend.
