JAKARTA - The latest report from NTT DATA, a leading global IT infrastructure and service company, shows the company globally 80 recognizes that outdated technologies hinder the company's progress and innovation efforts.

In fact, this report entitled 'Lifecycle Management Report' states that 93 percent of C-suite-level executives in the Asia Pacific (APAC) believe legacy infrastructure significantly hampers their business deficit.

Therefore, lifecycle management is needed. Unfortunately, rapid modernization, as well as the spread of technology consumption models accompanied by a more complicated supply ecosystem, make it difficult for many organizations to maintain their technological infrastructure adequately.

Infrastructure lifecycles is an important part of the IT management process. This is because an effective lifecycle can generate huge business benefits ranging from increased efficiency to encouraging greater innovation, "said Gary Middleton, Vice President of Networking GTM at NTT DATA, Inc.

The problem is growing, where reports found that more than two-thirds (69 percent) of the hardware currently active in the APAC region will no longer be supported by 2027.

According to the report, only 59 percent of corporations in APAC are able to fully align their technological approach with business strategy needs. Meanwhile, 71 percent of the company's network assets in APAC are mostly old or outdated.

"However, inefficient lifecycle management can also be an operational obstacle, and poses many risks to security and business continuity," added Gary.

Unaligned lifestyle patterns can result in inadequate coverage levels, labor-consuming updates, extensions of incident settlement times, security breaches, and even licensing violations as well as expensive compliance issues.
