And this provides you with an opportunity because no decisions are possible without information. Making the best, most timely, most accurate decisions provides a competitive advantage in today's Internet world. And because no competitive advantage lasts forever, IT spending is the fastest-growing segment of the world's economy, and it shows no sign of slowing down. CIOs are back in the saddle again. The common factor in these cases is that information, leading to knowledge and wisdom, obliterates competitive advantages that once seemed insurmountable.
Time is the enemy.
Information has changed the rules of the game. Today consumers have more information at their disposal at a speedier pace than ever before. IT infrastructures must adapt to meet the ever-increasing and changing demands of customers before the competition can. The sooner you are able to communicate your vision of tomorrow's business world and the role of IT, the sooner you'll be at the top of your CEO's agenda. As always, your comments and opinions are most appreciated.
