Predictions for the future of IT

IT

1. IT will physically contract

2. ITs boundaries will expand

8. Architecture and Design will be the key technology related roles

4. Commercials and Service management will be major IT functions

5. But these can be sourced externally too.

3. Services provided to the organisation will be at finer levels of specialisationBUT external broker providers will hide much of this

6. Data is the key asset to be protected over process

7. But this too could be hosted externally

A Historic Moment

“We are living in an extraordinary moment in history. Historians will

look back on our times, the 40-year time span between 1980 and 2020, and classify it among the handful of

historic moments when humans reorganised their entire civilisation”

Peter Leyden “On the Edge of the digital age”, 1995
