Traditional IT is sunsetting as radical new models powered by on demand is completely changing the taxonomy of enterprise IT and consumption patterns. As we all know Digital today is an oft-repeated term and often times we struggle to find one definition that satisfies all. Right now, the air is riddled with emerging tech from SDX to IoT to AI and a whole lot of emerging tech vocabulary. The CIO is clearly caught at the intersection of this disruption. If they miss the emerging tech bus, they face extinction.

Jim DuBois, Author, Technology Advisor – former Microsoft CIO, once said, “Many CIOs understand they need to change or get left behind. There’s less and less middle ground. Digital transformation is impacting virtually every business, so there’s urgency for IT to be a driver of innovation and change. We’re really seeing how the role of the CIO has shifted, to become more embedded in the strategic leadership of the organization and work more with external customers and partners to provide IT-enabled products and services.”

Disruptive emerging technologies will play a major role in reshaping business models as they change the economics of all organizations. In a study, Gartner asked CIOs and IT leaders which technologies they expect to be most disruptive. Artificial intelligence (AI) was by far the most mentioned technology and takes the spot as the top game-changer technology away from data and analytics, which is now occupying second place.
