A recent article titled, "CIOs Must Adjust to a Cloud-based World" by Em Maier of Inc.com informs readers that the IT landscape is changing, and CIOs need to be proactive in providing solutions that help their companies innovate.
Pete Johnson of GigaOM also points out in this article that the cloud can save your organization money and increase productivity, but there is a trade-off if you aren't careful. The support for innovation and rising pressure put on your IT team could be too much. IT folks may lose morale as requests start to pile up and more time or energy can't be found.
The solution, Johnson states, is two-pronged: "Combining flexible software processes and specialized cloud computing to help IT become an aid to innovation and functionality across the company."

The support of your IT can't be sacrificed on the customization of a generic CRM or Business Intelligence solution. According to Johnson, "Adapting requires company leaders to stop thinking of IT as a cost center and start thinking of it as a functionality enabler."
