“By 2017 the CMO will Spend More on IT Than the CIO." Marketing budgets are large and growing more rapidly than those in IT. - Gartner analyst Laura McLellan
You can see that IT growth rates have declined dramatically and are rising slowly. Given high activity levels around computing that we see in the enterprise, we can conclude that most organizations view IT as a means to increase productivity and efficiency, rather than a source of innovation and business transformation. - Gartner analyst, Mark P. McDonald

IT operations is increasingly the enabler or bottleneck to the business.IT Operations is about supporting the 3 types of business workflows: customer-facing, supplier-facing and internal, as these workflows cut across applications and infrastructure. This is more challenging with tighter workflow execution requirements, scale up and down capabilities based on market events and the inter-dependencies between business workflows and IT process flowsstrates the ever increasing IT landscape and the increasing use of internal and external capabilities orchestrated via single business processes.
