Find out how to make the right information technology decisions
for your company. The authors, a former CIO and current CEO, reveal
how to get what you need - and what you pay for - in purchasing
new business systems and software. Too often, business managers
fail to understand technology operational concerns, while information
systems (IS) managers look past time/budget constraints and business
goals.
Investing in Information Technology bridges this legendary
gap in communications, and shows you how to work together to make
investment and implementation decisions that enhance your organization's
overall business goals.
Chapter by chapter, the authors explore actual business/IS conflicts
and present solutions drawn from their considerable experience.
Together, they demonstrate how to make smart investments in all
aspects of information systems and technology, and how to leverage
these investments to maximize the growth and profit of your business.
Investing in Information Technology is the first book to
successfully wed technological specifics and basic business principles.
Using this book, IS managers will be able to better understand business
processes, translate technology into business solutions, and obtain
invaluable ammunition for getting approval for investment requests;
while business managers will learn how to intelligently evaluate
their options, make informed decisions regarding technological advances,
and drive the use of technology for business advantage.
The book will also be invaluable to CIOs and CEOs who are seeking
creative, proven ways to guide their technology management. In this
time of heightened competition, process change, and fast-moving
market dynamics, the sure way to successfully guide your company
into the new business age is to invest in technology and leverage
its use by linking it to your organization's business needs. --This
