Overview
Are you getting a fair return on your
technology?
Most business owners suspect that they are not. They believe that their technology
infrastructure is underutilized and underproductive, contributing far less to
the company’s profitability than possible.
But they don’t know what to do about it. And they just
don’t have the time or resources to figure it out; they
have better ways to spend their time.
Over the past decade or so, technology has increased enormously
in both its complexity and its importance. Technology is now
central to the way companies do business. As a result, almost
all larger companies have a Chief Information Officer or Chief
Technology Officer, frequently with a sizable staff, to focus
full time on getting the most out of the firm’s investment
in technology. This executive-level officer generally has years
of experience and very likely an advanced degree, possibly in
business. He or she is highly skilled, highly educated, and highly
paid.
Small and medium-sized businesses have the same technology management
needs as their bigger brothers, just on a smaller scale. They
need a person with the same level of attainment in skill and
education, just not on a full-time basis. And they can’t
really afford to pay the going rate for a full-time person. What
are they to do?
