From response to acceleration Acceleration is imperative at the speed of now
It doesn’t take a fancy study to know that a lot has changed over the last 18 months. (But here’s one if you need it.) Almost overnight, IT leaders had to address new challenges, including how to quickly transition entire organizations to remote working, how to secure those new environments, and how to prioritize and even accelerate digital initiatives as they adjusted to the new normal.
Yet the biggest challenges and opportunities for CIOs may still lie ahead. New and changing consumption models, flexible workforces, supply chain disruptions, and security challenges are here to stay. And yesterday’s stopgap measures aren’t going to cut it long term.
IT organizations need to set a foundation for transformation that is ready now and is also future proof to take them where they may need to go next when market dynamics change again. This is easier said than done, considering the significant investment IT has made in technology, people, and processes. Navigating modernization initiatives while maximizing the use and value of existing investments is key to minimizing technical debt during this transition. This is where the combination of NetApp and VMware is in a class of one.
