Today’s rapidly evolving business models depend upon an infrastructure that can rapidly evolve with the business. Most companies are dealing with an increasingly complex infrastructure. This environment mandates advanced management solutions to effectively manage the company’s business-critical support systems. According to industry analyst IDC, investments in infrastructure management have the largest single impact on an organization's revenue[1] and downtime of the infrastructure can cause productivity loss of up to $2 million per day for $50+ million organizations according to the Wall Street Journal[2].

Infrastructure Management is the centralized management of essential business operational components, such as software, hardware, systems, data, users, and the IT networking system. Most data centers have a disparate set of technologies from many different vendors, each with their own management systems, or perhaps no automated management tools whatsoever. However, all of these technologies must be configured and monitored for compliance to ensure their availability. Deploying, configuring, and managing a variety of complex devices and software from the same vendor, let alone multiple vendors, is a daily battle that challenges most administrators.
Through innovation, FrontRange Solutions has raised the market standards for Infrastructure Management and today is considered one of the leading providers in this area. FrontRange Infrastructure Management solutions enable IT organizations to standardize and consolidate their hardware and software assets as well as their IT change processes. This significantly reduces the risk of business system downtime and allows IT organizations to provide a higher level of service quality to their business units and end users. FrontRange Infrastructure Management offers tools that provide unmatched automation technology and help IT organizations to automate routine tasks such as re-establishing printer connections, fix breaks of applications, reinstall computer, discover security holes or simply roll out required patches.
FrontRange Infrastructure Management is based on service-oriented architecture and easily integrates into other core IT systems like Service Desk or EPR systems. This enables IT organizations to offer end-to-end services that connect internal and external end-users with the business systems and mirror the entire value chain of an organization. That is how the IT organization directly delivers value to the business.
