IT is traditionally thought of as the plumbing that underlies business operations. But that's changing as more IT teams are asked to help accelerate business ideas to implementation and act as agents of change within the organization. From the CIO all the way through IT management, the roles of IT are changing from the team you can rely on to make sure your infrastructure is stable, to the team you can rely on to deliver the next big idea that facilitates company growth. This change was prevalent everywhere during HP Discover 2012 in Las Vegas. I had a great conversation with Paul Muller, Chief Software Evangelist at HP, about how IT is changing and what we can expect to see in the future.
