- 3. Market Direction “CIOs are experimenting successfully with internally and externally sourced capacity on demand. Within 10 years, they and their enterprises will be able to acquire complex outcomes—capabilities —on demand.This will dramatically change enterprise IT organizations and the software industry that serves them.” http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
- 4. Direction Change Takes Time “Despite all this change, in the short term IT will be more or less stable. Many traditional IT roles, such as change and configuration management, will continue unaffected as the capability-on-demand scenario unfolds. Over time, however, service management, architecture and other “generalist” roles will replace the technical specialists in IT. Already under way, this change will become widespread over the next decade.” http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
- 5. Architect and Plan for Capability on Demand “The first step in preparing for capability on demand is to set up for capacity on demand, but this can only occur after a CIO gets the IT house in order operationally. An IT organization that cannot manage operations effectively because it lacks understanding of costs relating to business performance and outcomes will have trouble evaluating the price-for-performance trade-offs offered by external suppliers.” http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
- 6. Architecture Is The Competitive Advantage “Largely because of the trend toward externalization of capacity, almost all CIOs will find in the next decade that the price-for-performance competitiveness of IT organizations is directly comparable within and across industries. They will also find that achieving maximum competitiveness in IT price for performance requires strict adherence to standards and architecture, as well as tightly managed partnerships with external vendors.” http://www.gartner.com/id=1508715
