"The enterprise IT department is struggling to do the impossible: to grow in scope, by supporting new applications and extended networks, while reducing or holding costs. Where mission-critical goals are at stake, IT does not have the luxury to say, 'No.' To meet the challenge, IT has to rethink the old 'truths' about its role - including the use of outsourced and managed services - and step up to a strategic role in shaping the company's future," observes Stadtmueller.
