Your IT department: cost center or business model savior?

Is it possible to transform IT and turn it into a profit center?

The short answer is yes, but it won’t be easy. Join ZDNet Hot Topic host, Jonas Tichenor, myself, ZDNet contributor and Interarbor Principal Analyst Dana Gardner, and the CTO of The Open Group, Dave Lounsbury, to learn about the trends helping to redefine traditional IT.

The discussion provides a good exploration of how IT needs to recast itself, in practical as well as image terms. The goal should be to elevate IT to where it should be, at the very top of the organization. Hope you enjoy it!
