BIG CHALLENGE: How do we manage this?
Big Impacts on IT Departments
• Complexity & cost – IT departments can’t do it all anymore
• Faster operational tempo – from years/months to days/minutes
• Democratization of technology – harder to control users when they just go to the cloud
• Social computing – is changing user expectations as consumers & employees
