Point solutions abound in the typical insurance company; it is not uncommon to find more than 20 document automation systems spread across the enterprise, often doing very similar work." -- Helen Pitts(tags: oracle otn entarch...

It’s not the lousy economy as much as it as that the market as matured – and there ain’t no coming back from that. If you make your living with big bang ERP implementations, stop hanging onto a shriveled market…long past time to find a new gig! Like an old firecracker, there’s no pop left in big bang."

Seeing this post from  Dr. Jim Anderson brought to mind Nicholas Carr’s 2003 article “IT Doesn’t Matter” in the Harvard Business Review. While Carr’s claim put him on the map, it’s pretty clear seven years later that  IT does indeed matter. But Anderson raises an interesting point: IT has no equivalent accreditation system.
