Technology management has to follow processes. When you outsource processes, you don't ask about what systems the outsourcer will use. First, your focus shifts outward. With increased interdependence and fluid technology, you've got a challenge, because the technology automates these things, and you lose control as it goes outside. The e-business network redefines technology management.
Business decisions determine technology choices.
Solution sources move increasingly outside the company. The further you move down the stack, there's more technology involvement. The more you move up the stack, there's more business involvement. The use of technology is just exploding, but it won't be enabled by internal technicians. Internal technicians will assume business roles.
