Gartner Says IT Departments Must Give up Control / GovTech, 7 Nov 2006

"Information technology (IT) departments must relinquish some of the control and responsibilities they have accumulated over recent decades to the end user, to free up time and resources to create business enhancing opportunities, according to Gartner Inc. With at least two-thirds of IT budgets currently consumed by operations, maintenance and support, there is little scope to invest in or support projects that could transform the business. At the same time, frustrated by restrictions imposed by the IT department, many users are taking advantage of consumer technologies and services and finding alternative approaches to work and collaboration in the workplace."
