Predictive IT Management for the Next-Generation Business WorldA new equation exists between business and IT in which IT is a driver of business innovation and equally responsible for enabling business agility and reducing operational costs. In the past, IT organizations were unable to meet escalating business expectations due to non-standard technology operations and limited sourcing models. Technological advancements and new business models provide CIOs, however, with options that were not possible three to five years ago. Cloud computing, SOA, and on-demand sourcing models provide CIOs with tools to transition their organizations from service delivery providers to business innovation partners. Yet, from an operations perspective, the responsibility to deliver IT services at the best possible QoS is still required. CIOs are under intense pressure to provide transparency in order to align, perform and govern service delivery for the business. As they assume a more central role at the "hub" of business, they must provide 360-degree leadership and management. Existing business and IT management models cannot adapt quickly enough or provide transparency for risk, decisions, and management options. The following key challenges for emerging IT exist:
These challenges are responsible for the lack of a common language or linkage between the different layers of business and IT. IT organizations that continue to operate in this model prolong inefficient and expensive operations. However, the current immense rate of change and growing business expectations require IT move away from this old path quickly.
