  2. The Rules Key Issue What key trends and events will drive new IT investments during the next five years? IT’s Changing Destiny Evolving IT Investment Drivers and Technology Cycles High Era IV: IT Reshaping Business Models Ubiquitous Computing IT Impact On Business Structure Era III: Value Creation and Business Effectiveness Internet/Network Computing Era II: Productivity and End-User Empowerment Client/Server Computing Era I: Automation, Cost Control and Efficiency Mainframe/Midrange Computing Low 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 Source: GartnerGroup

  3. Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2003, competitive business pressures drive (at least) 40 percent of large multinational enterprises to adopt an IT-enabled virtual-enterprise business model (0.8 probability).

  4. Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2004, extra-structure IT investments surpass infra-structure IT investments for 75 percent of medium-to-large enterprises (0.7 probability). Through 2004, people and process will account for 80 percent or more of unplanned downtime (0.8 probability). Causes of Unplanned Application Downtime eBay 6/12/99 outage: 22 hours Operating System Failure Cost: $3-$5 million rev. hit 26% decline in stock price Charles Schwab & Co. 2/24/99 through 4/21/99 - (4) outages: at least 4 hours Upgrades/Operator Errors Cost: ???; Announced $70 mil. in new infra. invest. $s Technology Failures Operator Errors Dev.

  5. X-Mart Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2006, 25 percent of consumer spending and 70 percent of business-to-business commerce (in developed economies) will be Web-involved (0.7 probability). Through 2002, less than 15 percent of E-commerce businesses that use the Internet as their exclusive marketing and sales channel will be profitable (0.7 probability). Through 2002, global use of the Internet as a sales and marketing channel will lag US adoption rates by an average of 18 to 24 months (0.8 probability).

  7. Strategic Planning Assumptions Between 2003 and 2006, discontinuous technology advances beyond network computing will lead to an era of networked, context-dependent information devices (0.7 probability). Beginning in 2007, spontaneous computing architectures will lead to untethered point-of-need access to real-time information, people and services (0.6 probability).

  9. Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2004, 80 percent of internally and externally-focused applications will be based-on (or extended-by) Internet derived technologies and standards (0.7 probability).

  10. Strategic Planning Assumptions Through 2005, no single packaged solution will represent more than 40 percent of a company’s application requirements (0.8 probability). By 2004, more than half of all Type C enterprises will externally source at least 60 percent of their business application portfolio and IT Infrastructure (0.7 probability).

Business Value • Business Process Improvement • Organizational Alignment • Customer Service • Competitive Position • Employee Productivity • User Interface, Usability • Access to Corporate Data Total Cost Technology Communications User Labor Training,Services IT Labor Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2004, fewer than 30 percent of mid-to-large size enterprises will require a full-service (internal) IS organization (0.8 probability). Through 2004, at least 35 percent of mergers or acquisitions will fail to achieve business objectives due to poor IT planning and inadequate due diligence (0.7 probability).

By 2002, 70 percent of mid-to-large enterprises employ selective IT outsourcing to help control costs, increase productivity or gain access to resources (0.7 probability). By 2004, 60 percent use ESP prime contractors to manage the complexity of “bundled” subcontractor services (0.8 probability).

  14. Summary • Industry Trends • Value creation” and business effectiveness (Era III) becomes the leading drivers of new IT investment, rather than traditional catalysts that focus on efficiency & productivity (Era’s I & II) • An IT-enabled (“virtual enterprise”) business architecture emerges; 25 percent of consumer spending and 70 percent of business-to-business commerce become Web-involved (by 2006) • Aligning the business and its IT capability means moving “beyond the turf wars”; the quest for “value” from IT demands that the business routinely measures itself • Business contingency planning becomes the primary focus of Year 2000 and EMU efforts Technology Themes • Eighty percent of applications will be based on, or extended-by, Internet derived technologies • Heterogeneous technology integration remains a critical management challenge • “Wintel” maintains dominant desktop share; NT becomes server “target platform of choice”, but is rife with technology challenges at the high end • Personal devices explode in volume, but frustrate attempts at enterprise integration/security • Focus of packaged business applications shifts from the back-office to the front-office • New U.S. software accounting guidelines only accelerate trend toward ESP domination of AD • Bandwidth requirements increase by at least a factor of three; budget demand at least doubles over the next five years; viable “converged network services” emerge • Application integration becomes the primary focus of information architectures • Infrastructure resource management becomes key to lowering enterprise TCO • Information security and privacy emerge as critical enterprise issues due to “virtualization”Management Challenges • The shortage of IT skills remains the No. 1 IT management issue beyond 2001 • The IS organization evolves into a broker of IT services; “selective” outsourcing becomes the norm (under a “prime contractor” model); ESPs become dominant industry “channel masters” • Knowledge management practices, processes and technologies go mainstream
