A robust infrastructure can deliver real business value and outcomes. AGI’s experience illustrates how infrastructure investment can pay off in improved operations and reduced costs. Emerging technologies promise to deliver even more benefits. Smart shelves that trigger their own restocking and repricing are just around the corner. And soon, customers may be able to access a wealth of information about any product from store-based kiosks or their own handheld shopping PDAs.
AGI’s Infrastructure enhancement enables companies to optimize the use of existing resources. Organizations that aim to become truly global need an infrastructure that will allow virtual management and smooth information sharing. A well-integrated infrastructure, for example, allows an organization to securely store and move data at will. Storage devices can be operated as nodes in a global network, in sites chosen for their economic benefit, security or promise of redundancy.
Your information infrastructure is the core of your business processes. It's also the core of frustration for CFO's as they try to wrestle the exorbitant cost of maintaining that infrastructure.

Global Teamwork
An integrated global infrastructure supports global teams, which allows an organization to make the best use of valuable human resources. Projects can be segmented, for example, with different types of functions or operations performed in locations where the talent best meets the need. Or a valuable skill can be shared worldwide.
The reality is that most companies’ existing infrastructures are not up to the task of supporting high-performance business and delivering value through technology. They are not yet virtualized, standardized or optimized. They are neither flexible and dynamically scalable nor fully automated. And they do not enable information to be readily shared.
Most infrastructures have evolved and grown in a haphazard, piecemeal fashion these infrastructures are complex and tend to be underutilized, poorly integrated, inflexible and very expensive to maintain.
Moving Toward Mastery
Mastering core skills and competencies is an essential component of AGI. What does it mean to achieve mastery in infrastructure outsourcing? Specific requirements vary by industry, but two are clear markers in all situations.
Build to a Master Plan
An organization should have a master plan when it sets out to build an infrastructure that will meet its strategic needs over multiple financial periods. The master plan identifies the series of small, business-driven initiatives required to achieve the overall transformation results, and it provides the necessary information to support the long-term financial business case.
A strong master plan enables managers to resist pressure from individual departments or business units to include ad hoc components to meet their special requirements. In this way, it can save money by avoiding the waste of building something that may not fit together over the long term and that, as a result, may even have to be scrapped.
AGI’s master plan also helps ensure that the organization will function well as a whole.
