From the Editor: Forget the Tech
Vijay Ramachandran, ChannelWorldIndian companies no longer invest in technology, rather they fund business outcomes. Forget the tech, focus on your clients’ business drivers.
Here’s my No. 1 forecast for 2013: We will start telling better stories. In the new year, the IT career guillotine will sever the necks of those less facile in the narrative arts.
HP can do this. The company desperately needs a stronger future story, and I think it would be cool to have either an HP personal robot or 3-D printer.
Most IT organizations are already overcommitted and under-resourced. Absent an infrastructure crisis, they will defer ITSM until the budget gets bigger or “things get better.” (When will that happen?) Here are some of the things organizations can do for you.
Apple, not Microsoft, not Google, was on top of the technology business mountain. The PC is no longer the center of the computing universe.
The announcement of a $35 Tablet is just a cheap gimmick that works because of the gullibility of the media and the shameless political opportunism.
Business leaders, tasked with cutting costs and improving worker productivity, are discovering that technology alone cannot help them achieve these goals. By understanding where knowledge exists and how it’s transferred, firms can identify inefficiencies before implementing technology.
