Being able to scale solutions in the enterprise is still a key element of IT success. Of course, you're never going to be completely successful. Just because the digit in the year changes from a 0 to a 1 doesn't mean we're in another digital Fantasia. No, looking forward, we can honestly say we know our limitations. We have to go global.
New markets mean new laws, new cultures and new local content for Web sites.
Those sites will also have to be secure - and will have to conform to all the new privacy legislation that's sure to be on the legislative agenda. New laws already exist in Europe, and if you have any European customers, you're going to have to implement new procedures. It will be good business for security software and service companies. So make sure you have top-notch people you can talk to about IT security. One answer is to make security part of an overall Web strategy.
