Scaling Autonomous Execution Across Enterprise Services

Enterprise information technology is at both a turning point and a crossroads. New capabilities spanning infrastructure, platforms, and software are now available to allow information technologies to autonomously manage and operate themselves autonomous execution. Autonomous execution in a service context refers to independently managing the provisioning, processing, and management of autonomous execution. Such self-management potentially carries substantial rewards—hotels can scale without any on-site staff, trades can be executed in fractions of a second, and, in extreme cases, entire cities are being built using economy-of-scale principles. But these rewards also bring substantial risks.
