For many organizations IT has long been viewed as a cost center. It’s considered a department where large expenditures are made every year in order to keep the lights on. But organizations have realized that IT services are the foundational enablers driving the business outcomes that future-ready enterprise strives to achieve. This is often a significant transformation for IT management and staff. That transformation doesn’t happen overnight.
That’s why Loy Allen and Bill Payne have drafted a point-of-view paper that helps organizations understand the complexities of the journey from an IT shop/cost center to an IT service provider for the future-ready enterprise. “As businesses and the broader market become more digitally enabled, IT is expected to do more than just keep the lights on — they need to provide capabilities that meet the business demands of a digital enterprise,” Loy and Bill contend.
Choosing the right partner to embark on this journey is key. The partner must be able to deliver on multiple fronts, from strategic insight to practical deployment. “Making the transformation from an IT shop to a comprehensive service provider is imperative,” they add.
