Nearly all emerging technologies have followed a normal lifecycle. This lifecycle usually starts with a unique technology innovation coming to market, then moves to inflated expectations as the promised value of the technology exceeds reality, followed by disappointment as expectations are dashed. It then moves into a period of awakening as a true understanding of the value becomes apparent. Finally, assuming a successful implementation, it delivers some measure of business value. A solid technical foundation is a prerequisite to successfully deploying and realizing value from emerging technologies. It is our contention then that IT infrastructure and operations still matter.

A solid technical foundation that supports both proven and emerging technologies should focus on the certain requirements. Learn about these requirements and what capabilities should be in-place to support them.
