An IT business case document can vary from a simple one-page write-up to a full-blown justification paper with detailed cost and return-on-investment calculations. Many organizations have standard business case templates, but here’s what type of information a…

Thousands of services run on a typical corporate network. They include multiple services which are core to network security, network services, and IT automation, such as Windows services, scheduled tasks, batch jobs, application pools within IIS, and more.
