News Story by Mitch Betts
July 04, 2005
The book: The 2nd Digital Revolution, by Stephen J. Andriole (CyberTech Publishing, 2005). In the first digital revolution, IT was used for tactical operations, whereas in the second revolution, IT is at a strategic level. I'm not so wild about the title, but the book itself has a good deal of candor about the role IT needs to play in corporate America. For example, Andriole says it's time to move beyond talking about "business alignment," which is a sequential approach, and take a more holistic approach that recognizes that business and technology are so intertwined, it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.” Andriole – a professor at Villanova University and a Cutter Consortium Fellow – calls it “business-technology convergence.” “CRM is a great example: it's both a business model and a technology. Or, as one prescient CIO used to say, "there are no technology decisions – only business decisions."
The book covers a lot of other ground, from IT governance to staffing. But it's the no-nonsense statements that I like best. On the subject of IT standardization, for example, Andriole says variation is your enemy and "non-standardization is just plain stupid." As for return on investment and total cost of ownership metrics, he says that they're great, but "you cannot build a business with these hammers." Andriole adds that "obsessive-compulsive TCO/ROI behavior is as unhealthy as any obsessive-compulsive behavior." And to answer Nicholas G. Carr's question as to whether IT matters, the author replies: "try telling a CEO that a botched $100 million ERP system doesn't matter."
