In the past, IT managers and IT staff had similar priorities and objectives. They needed to streamline internal operations of companies with systems enterprise resource planning at the enterprise level. They needed to increase employee productivity by introducing wireless access to the commercial units within the office, as well as develop and implement new technologies for more effective work.

But the situation has changed now. IT managers are increasingly looking to IT departments as a means of introducing new solutions for business. At the same time, they realize that the existing IT-organization established in accordance with previous commercial requirements and to meet the new requirements they often have to transform.
