One of the toughest challenges for an enterprise, when attempting to implement a new strategy to solve its storage problems, is determining the exact source of the problem.

Complexity Reduction involves analyzing the way an enterprise utilizes, interacts with, and manages its storage environment.

To achieve this goal, NovusCG applies a proprietary software-enabled methodology and services platform to analyze the Management Complexity Factor (MCF™) of the environment.

MCF™ identifies the quantitative and qualitative contributing factors to an environment's complexity and:

• Determines areas for cost saving and reduced complexity.
• Provides detailed action plans for achieving the complexity reduction.
• Outlines strategies for sustaining realized objectives.

Once the complexity in the environment has been identified, and the strategy mapped for reducing and managing it has been defined, the next step is to standardize the IT operations.
