IT 2.0 Defined

Economic interests of clients and IT providers are misaligned. Conventional IT vendors lack accountability for the outcome of IT investments made by clients. As a result, many Global 2000 enterprises are now looking for new types of contractually-enforced relationships with their IT vendors to align their interests.

When alignment is reached, an IT vendor's rewards are determined by the financial value its solution generates for the client's business. In these engagements, results are delivered through a new breed of business solutions that include the optimal IT 2.0 ingredients:

• Contracts that enforce both strategic and economic alignment
• Metrics that determine the value created by IT providers
• Capabilities that deliver fit-for-purpose business solutions

IT 2.0 provides the alignment of economic and strategic interests that clients want.
