Summary
In this chapter, we explained how Gartner’s bimodal IT proposed a model to address the challenge of building and maintaining a diverse technology landscape with different modes of operations. The outcomes of this were improved agility, better risk management, greater innovation, increased collaboration, and an improved customer experience.
We also walked through the challenges and limitations of adopting bimodal IT in the ever-evolving enterprise IT landscape and why it is marked as inadequate to operate enterprise IT.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how hybrid cloud adoption is becoming a standard deployment model, as well as some of the key business and technical capabilities it provides.
