- 11. Information Chaos Systems of Engagement and Record misaligned. Mobile means information leaking everywhere. Information coming faster than it can be digested. More silos than ever – and new ones in the cloud The “business” circumvents IT. We’re spending too much on technology. Information Opportunity End to end process synchronization. Governance occurs regardless of device. Analytics automatically categorizes and disposes. Governance occurs regardless of location. IT spend aligned with opportunities. Cloud opportunities to save on legacy. Business Benefit Processes transparent to customers. Employees and customers work on their own device. Static information now at rest put into motion. It doesn’t matter where information “lives.” A new business/IT alignment. IT shifts from a cost center to value creator. Source: John Mancini - AIIM
