ITIL and ISO 20000 are driving the outsourcing industry to begin to approach infrastructure from a stronger process orientation. This will result in consistent definitions and clarity around the inputs and outputs to a process, enabling service providers with more agility for plug-and-play services, lower risk, more consistent service, and enhanced capability for innovation. It will also enable buyers to quickly and easily change providers.
Look for infrastructure process reengineering and development of management tools over the next few years (much like business process reengineering 20 years ago) in an effort to deliver optimized performance.
As infrastructure management becomes more process centric, price models will move from a per-seat to a per-service price.
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is a reality today, although it's still in the early adopter phase. Look for more providers to develop on-demand offerings for IaaS.
Self-service remains the most difficult aspect of infrastructure management because it requires changing end-user behavior. Some providers are investing in avatars to help drive adoption of self-service.
