AVENGERS,
ASSEMBLE!
MARVEL’S FIRST STRATEGIC IT PLAN COMES FROM SUPERPOWERED COLLABORATION
BETWEEN THE CIO AND THE LINES OF BUSINESS.
he drama of modern business
sometimes operates at comic
book scale—larger-than-life
characters, heroic risks, struggles
for dominance, and sometimes even
crushing defeats. So it should come as
no surprise that Marvel Entertainment,
Inc.—the progenitor of Spider-Man, Iron
Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and the
X-Men—has undergone its own dramatic
transformation over the past six years.
Nor is it surprising that Marvel has an IT
superhero operating behind the scenes of
the media conglomerate.
