The biggest shift we are observing and we will observe in these few years is how IT is being commoditised.
This puts businesses of today and of the future in a great position. The ability to select the technology solution when they want it, how they want it and at a price they are willing to pay for the technologies of interest. It is like lunch time frenzy where businesses are the customers looking for commoditised food. Too many eateries trying to tailor their menu in the expectation to attract the right clients. Quality of service will play a key role here along with the commodity. Whether you want to have a simple coffee in your local cafe or you'd like to tailor the flavours of your Frappuccino in Starbucks or may be just make your own. It is the same for your afternoon lunch or your business's technology requirements. The choices will be there, the key will be deciding what works and fits best for the business.
