Major legacy infrastructure challenges are causing IT decision-makers to 
report negative impacts on their businesses, a new report by Hitachi Vantara 
has claimed. 

Its study of more than 200 North American and European IT leaders, which 
explores subscription- and consumption-based ITaaS models, found that more 
than half (56%) of businesses reported a significant impact on revenue due to 
technology downtime. 

Revealed in the research is a series of challenges facing IT departments, 
which are increasingly important in companies and enterprises globally. 
Legacy technology is costing businesses time and money 

According to Hitachi Vantara, security, inflexible systems, isolated data, 
and the need for infrastructure agility are all causing major headaches for 
IT workers. Add to that the pressure of a skilled labor shortage and 
increasing costs, and the need for a clear solution fast becomes apparent. 

Despite evidence that legacy solutions are failing businesses, almost half 
(45%) say they have difficulties navigating complex cloud landscapes, which 
could be preventing them from modernizing their organizations IT. 

Gary Lyng, VP for Product and Solutions at Hitachi Vantara, said: 
....complexity is hindering innovation. 

Speaking of the increased importance of a stable and strong-performing IT 
environment, Lyng added: In today's digital age, IT is not just a department; 
its a driving force that propels progress. 

Moving forward, the study revealed that a growing number of companies are 
shifting their spending patterns to new ITaaS models in order to better 
predict and budget for future spends. Today, around half (56%) use ITaaS for 
all of their primary infrastructure, but Hitachi Vantaras analysis suggests 
this could grow to 86% in the next three years. The results, said the ITDM 
participants, were an average reduction of 20% to their total cost of 
ownership. More from TechRadar Pro Give your workforce the right tools by
