Flipping The IT Department On Its Head: Digital Enterprises Move To It As A Service
DataQuest
|January 2018
As the pace of technology change accelerates, businesses that want to remain relevant are transforming how they do business. In order to stay competitive in today’s ever-changing economic landscape, they are rethinking their old models and processes and reinventing business systems
One area that we are seeing significant transformation is within company IT departments, which are increasingly moving to an IT-as-a-service (ITaaS) model. Just as consumers have a multitude of choices for where they shop, businesses now have numerous options for sourcing IT to help them get their work done the IT landscape has changed dramatically. Put plainly: IT departments now have competition. They can no longer survive as isolated technical gurus standing as the gatekeepers of IT for their organisation.
In the new model, IT becomes standardised, consolidated and virtualised and is offered as a service. IT offers a catalog of software services and hardware configurations designed specifically to meet each business unit’s needs and the demands of each application or workload. Instead of working in bureaucratic silos and reacting—often slowly—to various projects on an ad hoc basis, the IT staff is flexible, fast, and focused on the needs of their internal customers.

Will the future be Consolidated Platforms or Expanding Niches?
The enterprise SaaS industry is experiencing a major shift. What was once a chaotic assortment of niche tools is coalescing into a wave of consolidation, unified platforms, and AI-native reimagination. With companies evaluating their software stacks due to changing business priorities, inflation, and the potential of generative AI, the central question is whether the future of SaaS will reside in all-in-one giants or in a colourful ecosystem of specialised, modular offerings.
