IDC Future IT Maturity Assessment
Future IT provides the foundation for the Future Enterprise. IDC’s framework helps IT organizations address challenges and enable the Digital Enterprise.
Building the Foundation for the Future Enterprise
After years of convergence, the future of IT is the future of the enterprise and vice versa. Modern businesses can’t survive – much less thrive – without fully integrated digital infrastructure and competencies. CIOs must focus on running the current business while developing new capabilities for an emerging future.
In Future IT 1.0, IDC has developed a framework for creating the future IT organization that enables you to assess your current competencies and prioritize as you manage complex change across a number of dimensions.
