The document discusses the implications of cloud computing for enterprises. It describes how cloud computing represents a major transition similar to the Industrial Revolution. Progressive organizations are viewing IT as a suite of services and adopting hybrid on-premise and off-premise models. The cloud will cause organizations to change how they structure their IT departments and responsibilities. Data protection will become more important than process control as services are sourced externally. The document argues that we are currently in the transition period to an information-based economy that will reshape how people live and work.

26. The nature of disruption Expected trajectory of performance offered by existing technology Performance Expected trajectory of performance improvement Performance improvement required by mainstream market Current performance by potential disruptive technology Time Joseph Bower & Clayton Christensen, HBR, 1995

27. The Disruptive Generation “We’re not as many would say, in the information age, this is in fact the transitional period from industrial to information and this period has at least 20 more years to run. This period will be looked back on as one of those key transitions in human evolution whereby life will never be the same again.” John Zachman, circa 2005
