The pace of business has accelerated and become more complex. Business will be won or lost due to a company’s strategic ability to understand its business and respond faster to market conditions and customer needs. IT strategy and execution is key to competitiveness in this environment, with a premium placed on maximum value from existing investments and improving productivity and responsiveness.

Over the years, IT organizations, have invested heavily in disparate applications and technologies, with a corresponding mix of incompatible development, deployment, and operational environments. The resulting complexity inhibits the ability of IT organizations to respond to new business initiatives, thus creating a gap between the demands of the business and the ability of IT to meet these demands.
