Status Quo_Real Cost of Doing Nothing

Hidden risks of legacy IT management

The real cost of doing nothing

 Legacy IT management is more than just outdated—it’s risky.

  • 64% of companies say lack of automation increases the risk of errors
  • 80% of IT budgets are spent on maintenance, not innovation
  • Disconnected systems and spreadsheets make it harder for teams to act strategically
Meanwhile, IT and Finance teams are expected to do more—with less.
vCom gives them the tools to lead with confidence, cut waste, and make data-driven decisions that deliver measurable impact.
