Most IT portfolios have grown up haphazardly throughout the years, mixing technologies, vendors and architectures that require increasing resources to manage. A modernization program works with the application strategy to drive the IT organization to achieve a desired state. Note that it is not just buying new computers. Modernization is about creating a moreflexible and dynamic IT environment. Put IT strategic planning at the heart of the CIO management agenda. IT management teams spend an inordinate amount of time in the annual budget cycle, but almost zero time on IT strategic planning.
