Why has IT become a strategic asset for the leading enterprises today and how does #Devops play into that? #DOES14

John Furrier
IT who? #devops changes the face of IT

Elisabeth Hendrickson
Software is ubiquitous, and technology provides strategic advantage even for decidedly non-tech companies.

Steve Brodie
Software has become the primary innovation driver across nearly every vertical

John Furrier
All joking aside; the lines between IT as organization vs the business functions are blurring so IT is not a dept anymore it's everywhere

James Wickett
I dont know if IT has become a strategic asset

Andi Mann
Because every business is a software business, so IT is a critical success factor. Like Andreesen said in 2011, software is eating the world. Today, pretty much every business is being rewritten by software. To poke Nick Carr in the eye, IT still matters.

Steve Brodie
You always hear about the examples of Netflix and Amazon disrupting their market levergaing technology and software

James Wickett
most software innovation that matters isnt being done by the IT dept

Steve Brodie
We are seeing even more software driven disruption. Look at Nest with their home automation, Uber and how they are disrupting taxi market
David Ashman
@wickett I disagree - I think you have pockets in different places in different companies.

John Furrier
@wickett I agree with you 100% IT needs to be more innovative

Kyle Hailey
IT is constantly bottleneck for app dev, reporting envs, audits so the need for agility and Devops and eliminating that bottleneck @JerDoug

Steve Brodie
@wickett Agreed. Oftentimes, traditional IT has become a bottleneck

John Furrier
Do you think in house software development is a legit trend or just hype?

Steve Brodie
This is often the driver for adoption of IaaS and SaaS at the departmental level
Scott Prugh
At the base, technology is a workforce multiplier. It can unlock multiples of value delivery in business.

Kyle Hailey
Yes, Devops moving faster than legacy markets Apple vs. Kodak, Uber vs. Taxis, Amazon vs. Retailers. Use data virtualization for your speed.@JerDoug

Kyle Hailey
IT Innovation is core of success 49% of Leaders adopted DevOps to speed application delivery vs 6% of Laggards http://www.ca.com/us...

James Wickett
@AndiMann or odd that you have? in seriousness whatever it is, call it R&D or stealth IT or in-house startups... people usually circumvent traditional IT to make things happen
