| | June 20168CIOReviewBusinesses around us are changing the way they look at the needs of their customers. Their products and services are adapting rapidly to demands of a much more connected, informed and demanding customer. The "Digital Age" we live in doesn't just affect the way businesses respond to their customers but also how they collaborate with their suppliers and manage employee potential. Ability to access, store and analyze data from various sources to generate meaningful insights is redefining the way we think. Role of technology has never been more significant in fueling many of these perspectives.The biggest change is that business leaders are far more willing to learn and adapt to technology led transformations. While at the same time, technology leadership can no longer be seen as specialists of software and hardware. It is in this context that technology leaders now increasingly look at their portfolio with a strategic mindset. Perhaps one of the ways to see this is across "What value" a technology asset delivers against "How" it's delivered. Let's be aware that technology sourcing is now dramatically different from conventional outsourcing Technology strategies can be centered on four quadrants or patterns that allow for establishing a long-term vision. These quadrants help a CIO define the enterpriser architecture, organizational model, skills requirements and sourcing strategies for the organizationand technology leadership needs to evaluate its relationship in a fresh light of skills, innovation and associated costs.Technology strategies can thus be centered on four quadrants or patterns that allow for establishing a long-term vision.
