Q2: What advantages does using internal IT as a service option offer businesses?
Nick Howell
Moving away from the "cost center" model that so many IT depts have become, to a more robust, dynamic ITaaS model really moves the ball in the direction of business servicing the business in a more granular and rewarding way, not just IT spending CapEx.

Flexibility - spin up/decommission services as the business requires, not ladened with heavy expenditure on kit/hardware
Nick Howell
The agility to act when necessary. The security of being self-contained, not using consumer services in a secure Enterprise, with ever-changing ToS and uncertain lifespans. Maintaining control also allows the best ITaaS experience.

In our case we use similar delivery models as external cloud systems but are able to deliver with cost efficiencies through a combination or staffing, software, hardware, and data center.

to me it's about developing a core competency with the ability to differentiate it's capabilities to be poised to lead the next wave of services - catalog based dashboards !!

Specifically in our case flexpod. NetApp storage, Cisco UCS, KVM Hypervisor, and OpenStack as the magic.
