I agree that the role of IT needs to change: look after the security and accessibility of the data, while protecting non-IT types from doing "stupid" things with the data that might bring the server to its knees. Otherwise, give the business units the right tools and let them go to it -- that's what BPM is supposed to be about, too.

I think essentially there needs to be a major IT cultural shift from IT being the "holder" of the information to being the "enabler" of safe information for business users/analysts to consume within the mashup environment. With all the legal issues and distribution rights of content starting to becoming a major issue in this area, I think IT managers and teams are going to have to start looking at how to educate and enable their teams to be more responsive to the shifting programming model as we see it. Not going to happen overnight, definitely. But something to look at. Good seeing you at lunch yesterday, and look forward to talking to you more.
