| | December 20134CIOReviewEditorialIT is not going to be a differentiator in business anymore, as more and more organizations have established their IT strategies and it will be `business as usual," says Nicholas G. Carr, Harvard professor. This fact has been witnessed by many CXOs in the IT services industry, which disappoints many of them as they were unable to convince and rope in new clients. But I believe that it's still a large pool if you know how to throw your net on the right side and fish around.Today the IT Services industry is undergoing immense transformation. In U.S alone, there are more than 100,000 software and information technology (IT) services companies and more than 99 percent are small and medium-sized firms (i.e., under 500 employees). This total includes software publishers, suppliers of custom computer programming services, computer systems design firms, and facilities management companies. The high priorities on infrastructure for U.S. businesses and growing interest in collaborative tools, green information technology, cloud computing and mobile applications is putting immense pressure on these IT Services companies also to stay abreast of the competition and thereby meet high quality standards at very competitive cost owing to the strong competition from global IT Services providers from Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia. As CIOs aggressively scout for innovative technology solution, there is no dearth of such solutions in the market. However, it's a great challenge for the CIO to find the right solution providers to align them according to the organization philosophy and meet their expectations.
