The cloud revolution is spawning a new generation of productivity, collaboration, and mobile/social connectivity applications that some managers see as quick-and-easy solutions to some of their biggest problems. But many CIOs recognize that these types of applications may solve a short-term business problem only to create a long-term IT a headache. Should CIOs clamp down before it’s too late? Or should they welcome these almost-enterprise apps into the fold? Do we still develop the in-house multi-year projects or focus on continuous deliveries?
1. Streamline the process for strategic agility:
For the large-scale, multi-year planning project, we may not only ask whether any alternatives (such as cloud, partner., etc) solutions available rather than completely in-house building, even if we have to, the best practice is to break it down into a few smaller projects with interim destination and shorter life cycle, it could be tactical in today's dynamic environment.
2. Application Modernization
How to manage the application portfolio wisely via leveraging the value, life cycle, culture and the latest technology. Application Modernization can’t be successful unless when the short-term objectives and quick win nature of AR were transformed into the long term strategic decision for the IT organization, supported with activities to increase the maturity of the IT governance process and skills of the organization as a whole.
3. Cloud Solution
When you talk about business first, the CIO may also concern about the "Shadow IT" or "overly-spoiled internal customers" with overwhelming latest technologies, or the business may purchase their own Cloud base solution without notifying IT, so, how to leverage the budget with customer' requirement or how to embed the radical transparency into the radical transformation could be the other challenge for today's organization.
