Lines Between Business and IT is Disappearing

http://m.zdnet.com/blog/btl/michael-dell-line-between-business-and-it-is-disappearing/59700

In the article Michael Dell, CEO and Founder of Dell Computers said "Technology is no longer the tool that enables business, but rather it’s actually embedded inside the business function itself. Cloud is enabling an even bigger change, and the line between business and IT is simply disappearing. Based on what’s happening with mobile, cloud and social computing these days, we’re in the midst of a “true paradigm shift.” Customers are looking for value not devices. IT, traditionally a cost center and still so, but they have started to look for ways to reduce cost and help with revenue  generation. They have become the driving force in most organizations leading the trasformation to the Cloud helping the company realize its goals.

  1. I had to agree and Michael Dell stated best that his company is no longer a computer company...

  2. I completely agree. The line between IT and Business is becoming a blurry one. With Steve Job's recent passing, I found numerous news reports discussing how Jobs made technolgoy for average people to use, he made being a tech geek more cool and mainstream. I can't help but think this popular technology has helped blur the line between IT and business.
