OBJECTIVE: Articulate trends There is a convergence happening today between increased adoption of SaaS and mobility (precisely where you guys come in) and enabling technology within cloud computing and APIs The mega-trends of SaaS, mobile and Big Data are converging to create a massive new wave of business opportunity. Organizations are each choosing a uniquely diverse and ever-growing set of best-of-breed applications to power their business. However, a new challenge has emerged as a result: a massive explosion of endpoints and data. In this New Enterprise era, businesses can be overwhelmed by the resulting explosion of endpoints, or they can seize the opportunity and gain competitive advantage by connecting everything. The solution is integration. TRANSITION:
OBJECTIVE: Describe the improving relationship between LOB leaders and CIO’s / IT In 2013, SaaS, Mobile and Big Data (the ‘Big 3’) have moved on from visionary ideas well into disruptive realities impacting IT. IT is no longer in denial, as they were for much of the last decade, and in fact are “leaning in” on all fronts. According to CIO Magazine’s 2013 CIO survey, more IT organizations are focusing on building better relationships with the lines of business, and are raising their game and engagement into LOB projects, particularly around SaaS selection, implementation, and integration. “Results from the past 3 years suggest that CIOs are increasingly taking action to solidify or elevate their team’s general relationship with business stakeholders by delegating more, developing leadership and cross-‐functional skills among their IT staff and increasing their attention and focus on customers” Even further- “Within 3-‐5 years, many CIOs aspire to spend their time on more strategic activities including driving business innovation (54 percent), developing and refining business strategy (45 percent), and identifying opportunities for competitive differentiation (41 percent). – CIO 2013 Survey TRANSITION:
