Through the Prism of IT Transformation for Tomorrow’s Enterprise Datacenters: Interview with Annie Shum

As indicated in our recent post “Extending the Scope of the Agile Executive”, Cote and I have recently reached the conclusion that The Agile Executive needs to cover structural changes in order to give a forward-looking view to its readers. We start the coverage of structural changes that are relevant to Agile with an interview with Annie Shum, VP of Advanced Technology, Amdocs Corp.

We cover a broad panorama in this interview with Annie. Here are some items that may be of special interest to the reader who focuses on Agile methods, processes and governance in a broad sense – from programming to IT operations and anything in between:

•Unleashing disruptive transformations
•Supply and demand – the two sides of the IT “coin”
•Open source software in general and OpenStack in particular
•The impact of social networking and other Web 2.0 tools
•Three billion downloads and counting…
•Finding the “right” balance between hierarchical command-control and bottom-up empowerment
•“Self-service” IT service delivery/deployment
•Forthcoming changes in IT system administration and the rise of DevOps
•How to gain freedom from a variety of low-level operational tasks and controls of physical infrastructure
•Provisioning and over provisioning
•Many others…
