“Next-Generation Asset Management (NGAM) — In 2008, enterprise IT organizations will be faced with increasing demands to run IT like a business. EMA anticipates that this pressure will drive convergence between traditional lifecycle asset management and other IT management disciplines, such as service planning and service portfolio management, chargeback and demand profiling, change and configurationmanagement and capacity planning from a cost perspective.
Software as a Service (SaaS) — In 2008, EMA analysts see the SaaS model continuing to gain momentum as a delivery option for companiesof all sizes.
