A casual observation of the information technology marketplace reveals that data is continuing to grow at an exponential pace. We have also moved from the management of structured data, through joint analysis of structured and unstructured data into an environment where real-time analysis and reporting of streaming data is essential. We are also in an environment of stricter data management regulations and national data sovereignty laws that, if violated, introduce the possibility of punishing remedies and fines. This rapid progression has also driven an exponential increase in required (and desired) information technology services. Cloud service providers meet this need through the innovative creation and deployment of API accessible, immediately consumable, data manipulation services. Enterprise IT organizations have shown themselves to be incapable of matching the blistering increase in number and breadth of these broader marketplace services. It’s not cost-effective or even desirable for them to even try.- Train and educate your IT team on the cloud model and required business processes;
- Build much-neededrapport and collaboration between the business team and IT team;
- Accelerate attainment of the Hybrid Cloud/Hybrid IT target end state; and
- Effectively move the organization down the necessary digital transformation path.
