“Generation Y” and “Digital trends” impacts to VMO
New vendors and new
ecosystems are popping
up for new “categories”,
e.g. Internet of Things,
Robotics, Cognitive
Analytics and other
“digital” services.
Current manual
approaches for VMO
does not scale well – in
some scenarios the
efforts required will
increase exponentially
with the number of
vendors, without
meeting the business
needs for speed, agility
and “control”.The App Store as metaphor for
future Service Integration:
No one knows exactly what the future
Governance model will look like – but
most likely, it will build upon the
principles laid down in SIAM/”Service
Integration And Management”.
The eco-system of integrating Services from a wide source of providers both within
and outside the organisation needs facilitation, if not control.
Looking ahead, due to the habits of ”Generation Y” (and their children) the number of ”buyers” will
increase dramatically. Each of these new buyers are born in the ”digital era”, and feels confident in
finding a way to get the digital service they need, either providing it themselves or via a service
provider they find fit for their purpose.
This will erode the traditional boundaries between ”Demand” and ”Supply”, which increasingly will
make the Business users providers of Services that are consumed by others, both within and
outside their own organisation.
A Farewell to ”Being in Control”?
Will the governance frameworks used to ”Fix the
Basics” and mature e.g. the IT department need
to be abonded with the Atomic volume of
Demand/Supply transactions hitting the
Enterprise like a tide wave? Or should we
automate the basics, allowing our limited VMO
resources to focus elsewhere?
Going from few to many
hundreds or thousands of
”Demand / Supply agents”
requires a different
mindset – and a new
toolset, to allow VMO to
focus on value creation
rather than operations.
