Microsoft has given out some mixed guidance on whether using a single platform improves an IT department's ability to meet the needs of the wider business. Commenting on a report into lack of alignment between IT and business, released on Tuesday, Matt Dunstan, application platform group manager at Microsoft, said the use of single, legacy monolithic platforms, such as Unix, reduced the flexibility of IT departments and prevented them from being able to meet the needs of the wider business. "Bets made in the past constrain [IT departments]," said Dunstan. "We talk a lot about agility and wanting to respond in business but, when a company needs [an application], the IT department is more or less saying: "No, it doesn't fit with our strategy" or "Yes, but it will cost this much and take this long". | ||
