Now it means that individuals outside the enterprise IT domain can pick a service offering of their choice, select a plan, and pay for it themselves. The barriers to start are low, the benefits of scale are high … [...]

The only other aspect of cloud computing I’d add is cost variability. When you put cost transparency, scalability and cost variability, we have a new challenge and opportunity for IT organizations.

Implicit to cloud computing is the notion of the IT “service catalog” – the system that presents the offers, the costs, units of measure, and allows for self-service configuration, ordering and account management.

With cloud computing, IT organizations still need to define standards, workflow for authorizations, manage lifecycles, and chargebacks. IT will need to provide self-service portals for our user to request and get provisioned; portfolio and financial management to our business customers to make visible service levels, costs, and usage drivers. We will need to have system of record to define our service bundles, underpinning technical and professional services, automated provisioning, subscription life cycle management and billing.

If IT doesn’t respond, the customers will go off the reservation. After all, use a credit card, and you are 16-digits away from freedom. This would be unfortunate because IT does a lot more than just operate hardware.
