Steven Spang of McKinsey identifies 5 key IT trends for 2009:
IT and corporate finance converge – the CFO discovers IT as an asset so it can outsource IT and raise cash, so it can sell the equipment and lease back assets such as the datacenter.
Tension around IT budgets. No kidding.
Increased scrutiny centered around the business case for any IT project.
IT is the focus of delivering responses from more regulators.
Offshoring and outsourcing changes.
