4 Solutions for CIOs IT S TIME TO REIMAGINE IT IT needs to change and CIOs know it. Last year, half of all the CIOs we surveyed believed that IT would have to change when the economy began recovering. Now that the recovery is under way, CIOs are beginning to reimagine IT and what it can do for the business with innovation and growth back on the horizon and new technologies changing the resource game. This reimagining is not optional it s a must. New lighter-weight technologies and IT models are already changing the resource requirements of IT operations. The good news? This enables IT leadership to focus more on growth and strategic impact. The 2011 Gartner Executive Programs CIO Survey ranked CIOs top 10 business strategies: Increasing enterprise growth Attracting and retaining new customers Reducing enterprise costs Creating new products or services (innovation) Improving business processes 2 Implementing and updating business applications Improving the technical infrastructure Improving enterprise efficiency Improving operations Improving business continuity, risk and security Gartner Executive Programs: Lead today to reposition IT for the future Get the tools and knowledge you need to deliver exceptional business results for your organization.

20 Solutions for Sourcing & Vendor Relationships Professionals Strategic sourcing isn t a project, it s a discipline. But many organizations still make ad hoc sourcing decisions as tactical reactions to immediate pressures, often based on loosely defined strategies and incomplete data.

27 Gartner methodologies the tools behind the insight A tested set of research practices, procedures and rules used to collect and analyze information, so you can formulate plans or make difficult business decisions. HYPE CYCLES Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. Hype Cycles help you: Separate hype from the real drivers of a technology s commercial promise Reduce the risk of your technology investment decisions Compare your understanding of a technology s business value with the objectivity of experienced IT analysts MAGIC QUADRANTS Gartner Magic Quadrants are a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market s competitors. By applying a graphical treatment (Challengers, Niche Players, Leaders, Visionaries) and a uniform set of evaluation criteria, they quickly help you digest how well technology providers are executing against their stated vision. Magic Quadrants help you: Get quickly educated about a market s competing technology providers and their ability to deliver on what end users require today and in the future Understand how a market s technology providers are competitively positioned and the strategies they are using to compete for end-user business Compare a technology provider s strengths and challenges with your specific needs MARKETSCOPES Both emerging and mature markets present challenges when it comes to assessing providers. For new markets, competitive positioning is less useful; in mature markets, differentiators are more difficult to discern. A MarketScope rates the market itself and helps you evaluate its participating technology providers against the Gartner vision for that market. MarketScopes help you: Manage the risk of investing in both emerging and mature markets, and what level of promise their future holds Support the argument for allowing an emerging market to further evolve before you invest, or support decisions to retire your investments in solutions that have matured Understand how technology providers in both market types are performing and which criteria play a key role in their survival 25
28 Gartner methodologies the tools behind the insight VENDOR RATINGS Gartner Vendor Ratings assess all the different aspects of a technology provider, such as its strategy, organization, products, technology, marketing, financials and support. These ratings are periodically revised to reflect changes in assessment when a significant internal or external event directly affects the provider. Vendor Ratings help you: Support your decisions in a continuing provider relationship or contract renewal opportunity Manage the risk of your provider portfolio while you keep an eye on up-and-coming players and potential alternate providers Understand how providers are competing and performing, how they are delivering against their vision and strategy, and how they are set up to survive in the long term MARKET FORECASTS Gartner Market Forecasts use primary surveys, inquiry analysis and secondary sources to help you fully understand a market s future spending pattern. We analyze supply and demand, comparing technology investment trends in the provider community with the spending trends of end users. Gartner forecasts provide two years of history while peering five years into the future. Market Forecasts help you: Understand the market opportunity for IT products and services Differentiate which market opportunities are emerging, maturing or declining Base your business plans and strategies on fact, not conjecture MARKET SHARE ANALYSIS Through Gartner Market Share methodology, clients see how share is allocated among 400 technology providers in 37 key markets. Our detailed analysis of how provider revenue is allocated reveals what types of solutions are succeeding, which are trailing and where opportunities exist for providers to take additional share. Our approach to Market Share Analysis combines primary surveys and vendor briefings with secondary research such as public financial disclosures, industry trade association material and government statistics. Market Share Analysis helps you: Understand where and how you can take advantage of shifts in market share, both now and in the future Identify markets where providers have opportunity to take additional market share Understand how leading providers are competing for market share 26
