Future Ready Enterprise Systems

Under enormous pressure to generate growth, today's C-suite is adopting technology that spawns new capabilities and applications. But many still struggle to scale innovation company-wide. It's creating what we call the innovation achievement gap--the difference between technology innovation investment and realized value. Value is difficult to capture in part because the conventional IT "stack"--spanning software applications, hardware, telecommunications, facilities and data centers--wasn't built for today's world of analytics, sensors, mobile computing, artificial intelligence applications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and billions of devices. Nor was it designed to adapt to the world of tomorrow, whatever that might be. But it's not the case that digital native companies are closing their value achievement gaps, while legacy companies aren't.
