There was a time when an IT leader’s primary responsibility was managing tin, making sure that an organisation’s servers were kept up and running with little or no thought spared to how the rest of the business was using it. Those days are past now, and the modern CIO’s priorities have shifted. IT is now about business outcomes, and CIOs increasingly don’t care what their applications are running on, as long as they’re delivering value.

In this IT Pro Podcast Special Edition, presented in association with Dell Technologies, we’ll look at the shift from a hardware-centric model to outcome-driven IT. We examine the business trends that have prompted this shift, the technologies that are enabling it, and what it could mean for the future of the data centre.
