Well, if the inevitable outcome of reduced friction is to increase demand for IT resources, someone is going to have to do the capacity planning.
In a sense, the impact of cloud computing will be to shift the tasks for IT operations from tactical resource provisioning to strategic resource planning - with an emphasis on achieving the most efficient, lowest cost infrastructure possible.
