This presentation was given at a conference in November 2014. It addresses the future of IT and takes 2020 as a milestone. My take is that IT will still exist, but will be very different. If you are interested in how this was discussed, take a look at www.hp.com/cloud/blog where a blog entry with the same title should appear in a couple days.

Core versus Context1
•A CORE application is an application that sustainably differentiates the enterprise within its market, that makes the company being what it is in the eyes of its customers
–Processes that create unique competitive differentiation
–Source of growth in revenues & profits
•A CONTEXT application is an application that does not differentiate the company from the customer’s viewpoint in the target market.
–All other processes
–No price for doing them well
–But there are penalties for doing them poorly
