Many businesses consider the current business environment a terrible time to undertake a significant IT and business transformation project. Lack of capital, reductions in headcount, frozen or shrinking budgets are just a few reasons why companies are not considering this to be the right time to transform their IT landscapes and business processes. I would argue that now is the right time and here's why:

• First, how can you react to a changing business environment if you don't know what's really going on in your business?
• Second, how will you position your company to capitalize once the business environment improves?
• Third, business regulations aren't going away so how will you address these requirements on legacy platforms?

Embarking on a business and IT transformation at this time may seem scary and risky, but it doesn't have to be, read this paper to learn why.
