WikitipBUSINESS INTELLIGENCENew and emerging models such as on-demand / SaaS business intelligence tools will make line of business clients less reliant on IT departments. Increasingly, users will bypass IT to directly access these business capabilities. Rather than fight this trend, IT should offer services to provide guidance on functional comparisons, negotiation strategies, scalability considerations and cross-purposing these applications throughout the organization. |
Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |
