This program discusses META Group's seven core infrastructure patterns, around which IT can develop critical design, implementation, integration, and management competencies. It shows how use of these organizational patterns can enhance IT's responsiveness, improve credibility, heighten influence over application package choices, and reduce operational costs. The program looks at the way e-commerce and other IT challenges drive IT decisions. Additionally, it emphasizes strategies for adopting adaptive infrastructure practices, an essential step in regenerating IT into a strategic business asset.
