IT Reorqs on the Horizon

摘要

Given the opportunity, more than one-fourth (27 percent) of IT and business leaders would rebuild their IT departments from scratch, according to an IDG Enterprise survey of 696 senior IT and business executives. That approach may be more radical than most, but the "Future State of the IT Organization" study shows that IT departments are headed for profound changes as CIOs try to refocus their staffs on business results such as revenue, customer service and product innovation. Today, 65 percent of IT organizations are centralized, giving CIOs control of the IT budget and technology assets. The remainder are federated (27 percent), where some IT decisions and assets are distributed among business units, or totally decentralized (7 percent).
