Overview of IT
Vanishing Advantage
The Commoditization of IT
From Offense to Defense
New Rules for IT Management

IT (Information Technology)
Processing, sharing and transporting
information in digital form
Transformation of business world
Backbone of Commerce
Expanding ITs power and presence
Shifting attitude of top managers
Mistaken assumption

More valuable when shared than when used

in isolation
Highly replicable
Arrival of Internet has accelerated the
Commoditization of IT
Most cutting edge IT capabilities quickly
become available to all
Build outs much closer to its end than its
beginning

ITs power overtaking most of the business needs it

fulfills

 Price of IT functionality has dropped

Internet has caught up with demand
IT vendors rushing to position themselves as
commodity suppliers
Investment bubble has burst

Resource essential to competition but

inconsequential to strategy creates more risks
than advantages.
Operational risks:

Technical glitches
Obsolescence
Service outages
Unreliable vendors or partners
Security breaches
Terrorism

Magnify risks as companies have moved from

tightly controlled, proprietary system to open
shared ones.

IT disruption can paralyze a Companys

ability.
IT may be a commodity due to which costs
may fall rapidly but is entwined with so many
business functions
Cost management required by simply cutting
out waste

Spend less
Companies with biggest IT investments rarely post
the best financial results.

Follow, dont lead

The longer you wait to make an IT purchase, the
more youll get for your money.

Focus on vulnerabilities, not opportunities

Prepare for technical glitches, outages, and security
breaches, shifting their attention from
opportunities to vulnerabilities.
