Frost & Sullivan research has identified four Mega Trends that are set to transform industry verticals – the rise of cloud and big data; ubiquitous wireless broadband; mobile apps; and the Internet of Things (IoT).

These Mega Trends have deep-rooted implications on IT and the role of the CIO. Organizations today view the IT department as a key stakeholder in their business decisions going beyond its traditional role of distributing, delivering and optimizing IT resources usage. As a result, the IT infrastructure needs to be agile and flexible to cater to the changing demands of its internal customers.

A scalable IT environment can support innovations and drive new revenue streams to enhance an organization’s risk appetite through limited upfront investments.
