Aber warum das überhaupt?

•    Rechenzentren und ihre Strukturen haben weiter an Komplexität zugenommen!

•    Demographischer Wandel - kaum mehr genug oder gut ausgebildete IT Experten!

•    Steigende Datensicherheitsanforderungen !

•    Themem wie: Industrie 4.0 / Internet der Dinge, die Digitale Transformation

IT Steht am Scheideweg

     "Für eine Mehrheit der CIOs ist die größte Herausforderung, dass die
     Aufgabenstellungen in ihrem Detaillierungsgrad völlig unklar sind und sie ohne
     einen Blueprint in die Veränderungen gedrängt werden." Gartner 2018

     "Die Botschaft ist klar und deutlich: Um die digitale Transformation weiter
     voranzutreiben, müssen sich CIOs selbst transformieren." Gartner 2018

     Nur 12 Prozent aller Befragten geben an, dass ihre IT-Organisationen die digitale
     Transformation ihres Unternehmens sehr effektiv steuern – McKinsey

     43 Prozent der Unternehmensleiter bezeichnen die IT als signifikant oder
     vollständig durch Drittanbieter austauschbar - McKinsey

42
Die Digitale Transformation startet im Rechenzentrum
 Planen Sie die Digitalisierung Ihres Rechenzentrums - geben Sie wertvolle IT-Budgets und IT-
 Team-Ressourcen frei!

 Teilen Sie mit Ihren CxOs eine Investitionsrechnung (TCO Business Case), die den geschäftlichen
 Wert der digitalen Transformation Ihres Rechenzentrums mit Nutanix darstellt Geschäftswert ist die
 Sprache von CxOs!

 Beschreiben und definieren Sie die Zukunft Ihrer IT-Abteilung und deren Mitarbeiter, nehmen Sie
 die Menschen auf die Reise mit.

 Besprechen Sie die sich abzeichnenden Veränderungen und erörtern Sie mit allen IT Team-
 mitgliedern deren künftigen Aufgaben und Rollen

 Helfen Sie mit, auch aus der IT Sicht, den Kunden im Vordergrund zu sehen und die Lösungen und
 Dienstleistungen zu erstellen, die den Kunden an ihr Unternehmen bindet

 Akzeptieren Sie den Wandel und seine Auswirkungen
