4. Information Chaos
Information Opportunity
Business Benefit
Systems of Engagement and
Record misaligned.
End to end process
synchronization.
Processes transparent to
customers.
Mobile means information leaking
everywhere.
Governance occurs regardless of
device.
Employees and customers work on
their own device.
Information coming faster than it
can be digested.
Analytics automatically categorizes
and disposes.
Static information now at rest put
into motion.
More silos than ever – and new
ones in the cloud
Governance occurs regardless of
location.
It doesn’t matter where
information “lives.”
The “business” circumvents IT.
IT spend aligned with
opportunities.
A new business/IT alignment.
We’re spending too much on
technology.
Cloud opportunities to save on
legacy.
IT shifts from a cost center to
value creator.
