I believe having an architecture awareness & future plans is critical to shaping your IT shop. What does Intel IT do in this arena, who are the pro's and what GEMs can you share w/ the rest of the community?

Let me approach this from the Application (software) view point. At the start of 2007 we had too many applications in our environment. As a company, we have made great strides to tackle this by performing:
Intial and on-going Inventory
Management of Intentory
Reduction of duplication and low/no-use applications
It is of vital importance to know 100% of what you have on your enterprise. Whether hiding behind a secure enclave or landed in a key data center, today applications drive the business process and expose everyone of us to risk. Knowing what we have and how to use/control/patch/support those applications helps our company.
To date i have posted three different times talking about our trek towards where we are today
