Telecoms company TalkTalk is planning to streamline its IT operations, removing nearly half of its computer infrastructure in the process. The company has around 84 million lines of code across 3,000 servers, and estimates about 60% of this is unnecessary. In a blog post, CEO Dido Harding said that it would be “more efficient” for staff to work on their own projects, rather than having to manage multiple projects at once. So in the next 12-18 months, we're going on quite a radical drive of simplification. Implementing new automation software from CA Technologies is expected to lead to efficiency gains of up to 80%. TalkTalk reported a £75m ($99m) pre-tax loss for the first half of this year.
