Approach” designed to provide any enterprise with the guidance to

business end users realize the benefits of automated, on-demand
provisioning, cloud decision makers, particularly CTOs are better
positioned to move beyond running day-to-day IT operations and
participate more fully in activities that contribute to the
enterprise bottom line,” said Melanie Posey, Research Director,
IDC. “Cloud makes it easier for IT leaders to transform knowledge
of business dynamics and related technology opportunities into
actionable strategies, resulting in improved alignment of business
objectives and IT,” Posey further added.
