Enterprise IT wore out its welcome with the glass-house priesthood schtick about 30 years ago. But they were the only game in town, so the rest of the company had to suck it up.
But no more. Amazon Web Services – and many other cloud services such as the premium Nirvanix – has shown everyone that IT can stood up in minutes, not months, with a credit card and an internet connection. CapEx is nil, internal BS minimal and the results are instant.
The peasants are revolting
The great unwashed are rising up against their glass house oppressors. The only CIOs who think they aren't competing with Amazon will be leaving soon.
IT's monopoly was dented by the PC and hammered by mobile devices, so the cloud could be the coup-de-grace. Unless IT figures out how to do something its never done before: compete.
