      In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and shifting business paradigms, the IT function is undergoing a seismic shift.

      The forces of this change include the proliferation of the public cloud, everything-as-a-service (XaaS), advancing AI capabilities and other evolving technologies. The result will not only reshape IT systems and infrastructures, it will reimagine and redefine the very role of IT within organisations.

      The future of IT

      Companies are rushing to be more agile, more collaborative, and to deliver what today’s customers demand. At the center of this story is IT.

      Are IT leaders ready to seize their moment?

      At KPMG, we believe IT can become the driving force behind the successful integration and application of technology into strategy, operations, people and customers, and in turn create innovative, resilient, sustainable and data-driven organisations.

      Getting here, however, will likely take intentional, strategic action that should begin today. In our latest outlook – The future of IT – we outline the six trends that require immediate consideration: XaaS, data, cyber resilience, talent, innovation and ESG.

      Read the full paper to find out the specific actions that can help you transform into the IT of the future your organisation needs.
