Many changes in IT Head role as top IT executive to tremendously fast pace of technology innovation. Now we need to understand the entire business processes of the enterprise. Keep in tuning the industry and maintaining the understanding of the whole business process and operations are essential.
Over past few years, the focus of IT has shifted more and more to the end user. It seems IT vision is absorbed to all departments we serve as electronic extensions, rather than just tools they use.
IT organization will not statically be stayed as it is but it is going to be spread among organization within enterprise.
Doing the internal project in enterprise is not as just the goal perspective, includes the change management among our expanded areas of responsibility. One of our goals of standardizing technology is to make it possible for employees to more easily change roles or move across departments within the company and not have to learn an entirely new set of IT system when we do move.
Experienced in implementing Oracle Business Suites Release 12.04 for Finance, Inventory and Purchase modules in Oil & Gas Company, we have to setup change management proposal to the board of director to get it approved. Tremendous changes shall be done compared to the old tailor made Business Applications developed by Oracle development tools, for approval security matrix definition. Paperless approval through e-Workflow streamlines the business process for complicated approval flows. Some issues came up by having discussion in the top level management for legacy data and auditor purposes. Though, it speeds up the process and equipped with early mechanism for approval business flows.

Assalaamu'alaikum Pak Haji,
Yes, IT Head roles have changed quite significantly.
IT is no longer a support organization, it is in fact a leverage (or I can proudly say a significant leverage) to bring the business one level higher by making all processes involved in the business much more streamlined, faster, and efficient.
Departemantalization or separation between departments was the old way we conduct the business. In the information age, business means better quality, faster delivery but with less cost, less resources, and less burden internally. And this is achievable through -one of them, or if I can say, one and the only- IT. ERP has evolved from the support software to the main tools if business wants to prevail and win the competition.
So, yes, IT roles have changed, and the only way to make this changes materialized (for the sake of the business) is by THINKING LIKE BUSINESSMEN but ACTING LIKE TECHNOLOGIST.
Good luck my dear friend!
Wassalaamu'alaikum.wr.wb
