Did the Wall Street Journal predict the end of IT?

The Catalyst by Softchoice

Is it really time to get rid of the IT department? According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, it may just be. In this episode, Erika Van Noort sits down to discuss a 2021 article where the author warns that our traditional concept of the IT department and the way it’s set up is not only outdated, but it’s also putting the way we grow business and drive innovation at risk. For a deeper look at whether it’s really time for IT leaders to ditch their self-titled department, Erika welcomes Chris Woodin, VP of the Cloud Business Unit at Softchoice, along with Jeff Reis, Senior VP of Information Technology & Workplace. In a roundtable discussion, they dive into how we can create more value for organizations by integrating the IT function into core planning processes.
The path forward is going to come down to a lot of teamwork, a lot of vision, and a lot of groundbreaking technical transformation.
