IT Architecture
For years, most decisions on architecture have stemmed from the applications and underlying
requirements. CIO’s have now started to focus on the infrastructure to define the architecture.
Typically, 70% of IT spend is on the support of the current environment; an infrastructure focus
helps bring that spend under control and presents opportunities for optimization. (Ovum Research)
