(Logicalis: Bloomfield Hills, MI) -- Logicalis, an international leader in high performance technology solutions, has identified several “Lean IT” practices which help businesses eliminate information technology (IT) waste and trim their IT “waste lines.”

Lean IT is a set of practices for identifying and eliminating waste throughout a company’s IT environment. Logicalis emphasizes that these key areas of IT waste exist in nearly every IT environment and take on a number of different forms: hardware infrastructure that takes up too much energy while underperforming, disparate systems replicating processes, and human resources being overworked or outmatched. IT waste is essentially any and every aspect of a business’ IT environment that is not functioning efficiently and cost effectively.

“The principles for lean IT are similar to those of the lean manufacturing process,” says Eric Linxweiler, senior vice president of solution services. “About a decade ago, the manufacturing industry closely examined its production process and identified key areas of waste that were reducing production and utilization and hurting profitability. At Logicalis, we have discovered that this process can easily correspond to the world of IT. Lean manufacturing principles revolutionized the production and manufacturing industry; Lean IT has the capability to yield similarly effective results.”
