Every
CIO or C Suite member that I meet today considers his Enterprise needs and
corresponding IT Solutions getting more and more complex every day. They have
their hands full with large IT teams (internal or outsourced or a combination)
maintaining a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario. While IT systems continue to do
what they were supposed to do and might be working well, they were designed and
built for business realities of a decade ago, maybe more. It leaves little
scope to ingrain the innovations and needs of today’s enterprise i.e. introduce
a mobile or social angle to the end user experience.
This
reality is not just as a technology limitation, it’s also due to the fact that
IT teams are so bogged down by day to day issues, there’s no bandwidth left for
creativity or innovation. The systems need armies of IT personnel doing
hardware maintenance, patching, testing, change management, release plans,
documentation etc. They are feeling the pain of managing multiple disparate
applications, multiple product / services vendors, integrating a wide array of
applications using multiple integration frameworks, constantly upgrading them,
handling different technology stacks for each of the applications, maintaining
skilled technical manpower and keeping control of Enterprise IT budgets. All
this while their core business area is probably far removed from running IT
systems.
In
this scenario, every CIO is left wondering whether he is missing the bus by not
moving to the cloud. Extensive carpet bombing of cloud related campaigns by
today’s product vendors drives the message that all or most of the previously
mentioned issues will disappear overnight. Moving everything to cloud appears
to be the magic wand.
Easier
said than done? Can they? Stay tuned for my next blog on what am hearing from
my PeopleSoft customers…
