Creating A Future-Proof IT Function

Once upon a time, there was business strategy and technology strategy. They led more or less separate existences. Now, there's just one strategy...driven by technology.

According to IDC*, 80% of revenue growth will depend on digital offerings and operations by 2022. Therefore, the IT function is today at a crossroads. IT should not be seen anymore as a standalone element, but as a connector that will fuel human/machine collaboration. While businesses must 'override' the silo mentality, it is key to define new standards that will help this new Business-IT 'joint venture' to flourish and innovate.

Redesigning the IT operating model will help organizations to gain flexible, connected and more scalable IT functions that will speed up to meet product and service objectives as well as return value for the ultimate customers.
