During most of my career in IT, I have tended to hold the larger IT shops in a certain awe: their large and diverse organizations, their ability to field large IT projects, and -- especially from a vendor perspective -- their unquestionable spending power.
I sometimes wondered how the more modest-sized IT shops could ever keep up with the big guys?
No longer. When it comes to IT transformation -- changing how IT operates to look more like an internal service provider vs. a traditional technology-and-project shop -- the smaller IT teams appear to be winning the race. They're getting their sooner and delivering results far faster than the behemoths.
And now it looks like many of the bigger IT shops may end up paying a painful price for their size and complexity.
