The industry has been wrestling with this issue for decades. Centralized IT relies on a governance structure where information management reports up through a single chain of command. Decentralized IT, on the other hand, distributes the management of IT through a multitude of functional and regional command chains.

In my opinion centralization focuses on coordination, standardization and consolidation of resources, processes, technologies and customers. It also enables the creation and execution of a shared vision of how IT should support and drive market opportunities and growth. Centralization also provides significant economies of scale, reduction of redundancies and improved management efficiencies. At the same time, arguments for decentralization centre on allowing business units to make autonomous decisions about information and customer-related requirements. But in IT, centralization is favoured.
