‘During absolutely the worst downturn ever, Avanade is growing like a weed’
Avanade is ‘both a partner of Microsoft and a very good customer’ whose information workers ‘are all actually IT professionals themselves out serving clients and live in both of these camps, as information workers looking for personal productivity, as IT professionals learning to enhance the productivity and connection between people and information in the customers that they serve.’
- Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft

Infrastructure as Burden
Why are so many CIO complaints infrastructure related?
Infrastructure pressures
Asset or Liability?
Business aligned?
Cost effective?
Satisfying stakeholders?
Predictable?
Competitive?
Technology Platform
Infrastructure serves many functional purposes today:
Network operating system (resource access, directory, security)
Fixed and mobile desktop provision
Application platform (server, storage, network)
Messaging and enterprise bus (email, middleware, quality of service)
Added resilience, scalability, continuity, management, archive and audit
Application Platform – The Big Picture

Cost of administration: proportion of fire-fighting versus evolution

Often no clear service level and value to business

Agility is Not Enough …
Agility is one of the important factors to deliver business value but is not sufficient and can be seductive
Must be accompanied by operational excellence
Must be business aligned or face rationalisation
Must be driving down cost while delivering appropriate quality
Must be supporting processes for all stakeholders
Freedom Versus Control
A delicate balance

Audit Compliance Cost reduction Regulation Security Service levels Simplification Utilisation
Freedom

Infrastructure as Asset
What will the next generation look like?
Growth of Windows
Continued growth of Windows in enterprise market both proportion and significance of platform
Maturing proposition: operating system, database, middleware, development
Innovation: mobility, collaboration, communication
Driving cost out of infrastructure and development
Balancing freedom and control

Changing Landscape of Service Delivery
Rapid and varied polarisation across the enterprise
Increase of industry-wide platforms, shared service and white-labelling models
Fewer comprehensive outsourcing deals
Move to process- based multi-sourcing
Convergence of IT and communication in all forms
