More from Less !

IT professionals are under pressure to deliver More from Less; the good old days of incremental technology budgets are over. Business today demands more value for their investments in IT and are reviewing IT expenditure through a magnifying glass.
These are exceptional times and the Cloud may not provide all the answers, but it may be a good time for IT leaders to take time to understand Cloud Computing and approach the technology without any bias.
The Cloud may be the proverbial last straw for many IT leaders before the Business kills them  by asphyxiation by severing budgetary support.
Negotiations with vendors are tough and more then 70% of the IT budget go in  keeping the lights ON!Business continues to demand agility, innovation and excellence from the IT leaders with exceptional budget cuts and demand an OPEX budget.
A radical  approach of innovation and excellence in IT Management may be the key to deliver more from less;
The IT teams need to become Lean Mean Fighting Machines and adjust to the new reality in their relationship with Business.

Back to Basics  Gartner in its it-glossary states -  Hybrid cloud computing refers to policy-based and coordinated service provisioning, use and management across a mixture of internal and external cloud services.
