The document discusses transformation in IT and businesses. It argues that past transformation efforts have failed to fully transform processes and people, and have resulted in VM sprawl and maintaining legacy systems. True transformation requires moving to a new state that builds on the past but changes processes and skills. It also requires establishing a technology vision, governance systems, training staff for change, and adopting a user-centric approach. Future transformation will involve a hybrid of on-premise and cloud-based solutions delivered as flexible services across edge data centers.
