9. PROCESS
"Hybrid IT is the new IT and it is here to stay," said Gartner's
managing VP, Chris Howard. "While the cloud market matures,
IT organizations must adopt a hybrid IT strategy that not only
builds internal clouds to house critical IT services and compete
with public [cloud service providers] but also utilizes the
external cloud to house noncritical IT services and data,
augment internal capacity and increase IT agility.”

10. PEOPLE
IT teams will be shaken up
because of the greater need
for a new set of IT skills as
different positions increase
or decrease in demand.
“Traditionally we’d have needed 40 people
to run this infrastructure. Cloud takes this
down to three.”
