Fit-For-Purpose IT Infrastructure for Digitally Determined Organizations

CIOs and IT leaders everywhere must guide their organizations through this change while enabling their businesses to thrive in the new digital economy — one that has complex channels and new business models that shape new revenue-generating products and services.

This process of transformation thrusts the role of digital infrastructure forward, prioritizing it as a strategic investment.

This means that CIOs and IT leaders must make conscious and forward-looking choices that enable their organization’s digital infrastructure to be:

- Scalable, elastic, and agile from a performance and capacity perspective, and secure and compliant from a data management perspective.

- Capable of meeting stated objectives from a cost-of-ownership and return-on-investment perspective.

- Consumed as software-defined resources (e.g., infrastructure as code) supporting newer (e.g., cloud-native) workloads and newer development processes and operations methodologies (e.g., DevOps) and using newer pay-as-you-go consumption models.
