Exponential IT for Infrastructure and Operations

Exponential IT is a framework defined by Info-Tech Research Group to instruct IT leaders across all IT domains on how to elevate their maturity and value creation capabilities and close the gap between the exponential progression of technological change and the linear progression of IT's ability to successfully manage that change.

Exponential IT therefore has implications across the many capabilities of our IT Management and Governance model. Info-Tech offers an integrated set of principles across nine domains to help IT leaders change the trajectory of their organizations.

Infrastructure & Operations

Focus on Value Over Assets

Give up control – Let AI take over core operations
Become a banker – Implement FinOps
Lean into autonomous provisioning – Abstract away the underlying infrastructure

Use this brief primer to understand the implications of Exponential IT on Infrastructure & Operations.

Exponential IT: Lean into the curve

Infrastructure & Operations

Exponential IT defined

The technology curve has recently bent exponentially.
AI has been the catalyst, but there are more and more new technologies emerging (e.g. quantum computing, 5G), putting significant pressure on all IT organizations.
All IT leaders and organizations are at risk of falling behind because of not adopting new technologies fast enough.
