In recent years, IT organizations have had to closely align to business organizations and focus on core applications required by the organizations they support. As IT becomes more aligned to the business – and as IT executives are managing an increasing mix of internal resources, shared services organizations and third-party providers – orchestrating the technology symphony is getting more complicated. Many world-class IT organizations are leveraging SaaS on-demand applications for non-core applications. This strategy allows IT to focus on business applications and services core to the business and away from “reinventing the wheel” on applications that are outside of this core set. Leveraging SaaS applications frees up IT to innovate on core required business functionality.
