Corporate executives often perceive IT as a cost center rather than a strategic asset, hindering its ability to meet growing business expectations. Successful organizations view IT as an investment in innovation, transforming it into a service-oriented function focused on delivering business value through virtualization and automation. A 2013 VMware survey highlights that companies adopting IT as a Service (ITaaS) see increased revenue and improved operational efficiencies.
