Clients Now Looking to IT Strategy Consultants to Fuel Innovation
Kennedy Analysts See Evolution in IT Consulting and Evolution of CIO
(firmenpresse) - PETERBOROUGH, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/11 -- In new research on the IT Strategy consulting marketplace, Kennedy analysts have found that many companies are now working with IT Strategy consulting practices to develop a sustainable IT platform and an approach that focuses on innovation and pockets of growth.
"The typical outputs of IT Strategy engagement remain critical -- namely business-IT alignment, operations efficiency, information strategy and management, sourcing strategy, and organizational design," says Stacy Layton, Kennedy's senior analyst for IT services. "However, we see a number of other issues will also impact the potential demand for IT Strategy work throughout the next three years, including an expected increase in M&A activity and a modest, but emerging focus on green IT."
Kennedy's analysis also reveals that the CIO's decision-making role has evolved. After making considerable efforts to reduce IT operational costs (e.g. software, hardware, labor), the CIO has become an important voice in defining the longer-term vision for the business.
"The CIO who sees innovation as the art of the impossible and is willing to put in creative solutions, programs and methodologies to go beyond potential barriers will be a successful leader and a true innovator," said Matt Porta, Global Leader, Technology Strategy Consulting at IBM Global Business Services.
