IT Doesn't Matter - Integration Does

 

Nicholas Carr’s 2003 article “IT Doesn’t Matter” in the Harvard Business Review is still getting attention. I won’t let it drop because the article is based on an incorrect premise and misrepresents the IT challenges that business executives should be aware of. Read the complete post at blogs.informatica.com/enterprise_data_management/2008/03/it_doesnt_matter_integration_d.html.

And thanks to Loraine Lawson from IT BusinessEdge www.itbusinessedge.com/blogs/mia/ who reinforces the with her comments:

"I would feel sorry for IT’s favorite punching bag, Nicholas Carr, if he weren’t so pompous and occasionally clueless. Let’s face it: Those are great qualifications for a punching bag."
