The Future of IT - Blurring BoundariesToday, the success of companies depends in large part on their ability to harness technology to the fullest extent possible.

This reality ensures that the future of the IT organization has completely changed: Technology-enabled innovation will be a core competency, and the boundaries that once existed between IT and the rest of the business will increasingly fade.

Traditionally, most European organizations have viewed IT as a support function. But that is changing dramatically. A range of forces - from customers to senior management - are acting together to push IT to take a bigger role in the business, and to ensure that technology produces new capabilities that help shape and guide a company's strategy and operations.

The future of IT will primarily impact five core areas, with the following changes: Boards will look beyond the financial to measure the value of IT; budget allocations will transition to real-time; shadow IT will become a thing of the past; CIO roles will increase; and skills gaps will shrink.
