For the past decade, as IT organizations sought to decrease IT budgets, they focused on investments that would increase the efficiency of IT investments (e.g. data center consolidation, virtualization, application rationalization, extended desktop lifecycles). Today, we are ushering in a new investment era, where IT is being incorporated into the building blocks of intelligent enterprises. Investments in cloud, mobility, social media, and big data and analytics will lay the foundation for enterprises to build closer relationships with customers, and make more optimal business decisions in real time.
