Cormant DCIM & Beyond

McKesson has not only realized a positive return on investment (ROI), but has also been able to reassign employees to other areas of the organization, providing additional resource savings from the rollout.

Post this

San Luis Obispo, Calif., U.S.A. (PRWEB) April 22, 2014 -- A case study was released today between Cormant Inc., one of the most widely-adopted DCIM providers and McKesson, the largest healthcare technology company in the U.S., outlining the obtained benefits of the implementation of DCIM in McKesson’s data centers. The initial deployment was in 2012 with subsequent upgrades to other sites in 2013 and 2014. Its adoption proved that DCIM is a cost-effective approach to managing one’s data centers by providing visualization to IT infrastructure which enables a new level of infrastructure management. McKesson has not only realized a positive return on investment (ROI), but has also been able to reassign employees to other areas of the organization, providing additional resource savings from the rollout.

Cormant CEO, Paul Goodison remarked, “There’s occasionally a misconception with DCIM in the market. Data center personnel tend to believe the software will be cumbersome and require additional employees to effectively manage. This is definitely not the case with Cormant-CS. Most companies tend to require only the same personnel or even fewer due to the ease of use and the ability to now manage the infrastructure as changes are made with mobility.” McKesson’s Implementation Manager in Data Center Facility Engineering, Mike Alexander, added, “With the handheld mobility of Cormant-CS and barcode scanning it has been a huge time saver and we know the data is always accurate.”

For organizations with large data centers and massive amounts of data to track, the necessity to keep data up-to-date and accurate is essential. McKesson expressed this as one of the reasons it opted to invest in DCIM software. As with most organizations, McKesson was also interested in the capabilities to better manage its inventory and connectivity, view data at any level, maintain accurate data by importing its enormous spreadsheet and manage the lifecycle of its equipment. However, more unique to McKesson was its need to charge back service use since its data centers serve as cost centers for the company. The deployment enabled a smoother execution for chargebacks. McKesson also allowed internal groups to access information in the Cormant-CS solution, effectively providing self-service access and reducing the number of calls to the IT group.

DCIM is experiencing rapid growth despite its relatively young roots, with 451 Research reporting a growth rate of 40% annually (Rhonda Ascierto, “Cormant Locates Big-Name Clients For DCIM, Partners With Belden and Corning,” 451 Research Group, 3 March, 2014). It’s also a term that can have different meanings to different companies, depending on their needs. As in McKesson’s example, the need for managing chargebacks was essential, but may not be a core requirement for other companies. The Cormant DCIM solution allows for nearly any type of configuration needed to ensure the right investment for all companies with data centers.
