Michael Dortch - Principal Analyst - Robert Frances Group - September 2003
RFG believes the ultimate goal of initiatives such as "utility" or "on-demand" computing and IT-business alignment is creation of the "elastic enterprise." Such an enterprise is based on an integrated IT-business infrastructure able to bend, contract, and expand without breaking, in timely, agile response to changing business conditions. IT executives should begin moving toward this ideal by working with their line of business (LOB) counterparts and other "C-level" executives to identify and prioritize key business services, and their interdependencies with underlying technological elements.
