Abstract
This IDC PlanScape provides the CIO and senior IT leaders with a cohesive planning process for successfully introducing and implementing an emerging technology function within their organizations. This ensures that emerging technologies are identified, tested, selected, and implemented to achieve the greatest value and return while managing through the change without disrupting the business.
"To solve an organization's emerging technology challenges, a team is required to direct emerging technology decisions that are measurable and accountable to the business," says David Williams, adjunct analyst with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "The IT emerging technology team, spanning technical and business functions, has ownership of what, how, and when emerging technology is adopted and measured against cost, risk, organizational impact, and business values. It eliminates the risk of premature or inappropriate emerging technology adoption and looks further into the future than other parts of the enterprise constantly seeking to understand technology innovation and directions before they become mainstream."
