| The balancing act between what software to build internally, what to buy as packages, and what to source as external services, grows ever more tricky. New options are evolving for software infrastructure, major application providers are consolidating, and new service offerings are emerging. The business takes existing investments for granted, at the same time as expecting greater responsiveness in supporting new business initiatives, and greater flexibility in supporting constantly evolving business processes. How to exploit the new while sustaining the old is a technology, skills, and governance challenge. | |
