• #3: “By 2017 the CMO will Spend More on IT Than the CIO." Marketing budgets are large and growing more rapidly than those in IT. - Gartner analyst Laura McLellan
• #4: You can see that IT growth rates have declined dramatically and are rising slowly. Given high activity levels around computing that we see in the enterprise, we can conclude that most organizations view IT as a means to increase productivity and efficiency, rather than a source of innovation and business transformation. - Gartner analyst, Mark P. McDonald

• #12: IT Architectures are becoming more complex and disparate. To ensure best of breed and maximum capabilities to support growth, creating flexibility for innovation whilst at the same time supporting cost transfer from CAPEX to OPEX has seen more and more companies make use of outsourcing (like IaaS and PaaS), externally managed services (like SaaS application, e.g. salesforce.com and service now), and this means that business processes require more and more from IT to ensure onsite, offsite and hosted capabilities work seamlessly together.For example, mobile applications to take orders on the shop floor need to inform fulfillment systemsHosted Web applications to take online orders, then need to start internal processesOutsourced Payroll needs to take feeds from internal ERP systemsSocial networking for marketing needs to update internal analyticsIaaS used to accommodate spikes in the ERP usageAnalytics that must run across all of these environments to keep the business informedCustomer experience, business continuity and operations compliance are pushing IT operations for more service-level assurance with lower costs at scale. IT operations is increasingly the enabler or bottleneck to the business.IT Operations is about supporting the 3 types of business workflows: customer-facing, supplier-facing and internal, as these workflows cut across applications and infrastructure. This is more challenging with tighter workflow execution requirements, scale up and down capabilities based on market events and the inter-dependencies between business workflows and IT process flowsstrates the ever increasing IT landscape and the increasing use of internal and external capabilities orchestrated via single business processes.
