Centralized vs. Decentralized IT

["Sarazen, Daniel" <dsarazen () UMASSP EDU>]

Hi All,

 

Do you have any leanings between Centralized IT networks (Main IT group
responsible for IT services); vs. decentralized IT networks (Each
department is responsible for their own apps, servers and security
(Intrusion detection/prevention) with their own IT staff? Has anyone
looked at their campus and formed an opinion on the IT governance
configuration?

 

Any feedback you can provide is appreciated.

 

Thanks,
