Is IT As We Know It Really Dead?

There has been a lot of press lately about the doom and gloom scenarios that spell the demise of IT as we know it.  I clearly believe that IT must undertake active transformation efforts to meet the requirements of the future.  But I hardly think that IT is going to somehow become less significant or just become outsourced to the cloud.  In fact, I think that as technology becomes ever more strategic, IT organizations will be elevated to more strategic roles.

I'm not alone.

In a recent post in InformationWeek, Bob Evans makes the case for why IT is, in fact, entering a Golden Age.  In The Golden Age of IT has Begun, he lays out 6 reasons that the stage has been set for IT to finally realize its potential.  And, of course, I think that this means that there's a lot of IT transformation on the horizon!
