IT itself is undergoing a “re-missioning”—moving beyond being a centralized
enabler to becoming a core capability in every part of the business. Cloud
and big data analytics are creating both the capability and the imperative for
employees with deep business knowledge to define and marshal their own
IT capabilities. IT tools and know-how must now be embedded within every
function, business unit, and team. The inevitable result is acceleration in
changes in business driven by IT.
