I.T. Wars is the first book to effectively tackle the necessity for proper alignment of technology and business, from a holistic consideration, in achieving best results and optimal returns. A new-concept environment, the Business-Technology Weave is introduced as a new leading edge - a responsible (and necessary) forward edge. It is a mutually reinforcing one whereby all elements - people, knowledge, communication, corporate culture, attitudes, relationships, content (information), infrastructure, applications, needs, and expectations - are tuned and balanced in accordance with the continuum of change.
Within this change-continuum are ongoing challenges, and the contiguous nature of technology's support to every corner and crevice of today's business process. Everything from employee behavior (concerning social networking, instant messaging, e-mails, blogging, and downloading) - to disaster planning, preparedness, prevention, and recovery - to large-scale issues of national security, are exposed, examined, and discussed for ultimate outcome within the Weave.
I.T. Wars begins with a patient, comprehensive exposure of today's environment and challenges, with equal attention to the Business and IT reader. Whether your organization is public, private, government agency, association, for profit, non/not-for-profit, or even sole-proprietorship, you share the same concerns: You need a business-driven IT strategy, as well as a business-serving one. I.T. Wars helps you to build an "IT Enlightened Organization." It then opens a clear view to forward progress - a vision and pragmatism strong enough to qualify any organization for discussion, planning, and achievement of the best business-technology outcomes.
