Multi-speed IT for a Digital Business

Multi-speed IT

Divisions within digital businesses often consume IT at different speeds simultaneously, which means the IT function may be pulled in multiple directions. While innovation and digital disruption demand a quick response, legacy systems call for steady care and shifting operating models require a pace of change somewhere in between. CIOs must deliver change at the right pace for each business area, or risk being relegated to tending legacy systems.

Forward-thinking enterprises are adopting a multi-speed IT approach. A blend of agile delivery approaches, tools and technologies, this frees the IT function to shift gears whenever appropriate to support multiple business objectives and quickly respond to change.
