In this market, we are seeing striking change not only in customer behavior, but in the global competitive landscape for enterprise technologies and services. Recently this dawned on me: the IT infrastructure market is changing faster than we may know. A severe market downtown, survival driven customer behavior, increased global competition, and multiple disruptive technologies hitting the scene simultaneously, all pointing to a fundamental shift in our game. My position?
Traditional IT services methods for selling and delivering will quickly become a thing of the past, and to compete and grow in the market, innovation and measured-risk are prerequisites.
The coalescence of virtualization, deduplication, cloud infrastructure, and maturing WAN architectures is collective game changer. The whole idea of customer data sitting in the data center forever is going to change. For now, companies are taking these technologies on one by one, but it’s not long until the combined force of these will yield truly innovative products and services.
This blog is about what we do to evolve our methods, and in doing so keep up with a big shift in underlying infrastructure technologies.
Open kimono, and why be paranoid about divulging good ideas, when you might receive good ideas in return?
