Why Companies Will Spend Less to Get More from Information Technology.
Debunking many of today's myths about the future prospects and growth of information technology, this book uses a variety of well-accepted economic, technological, and market data to come to the contrary conclusion that IT is poised to shrink and not grow.
The argument is made that over the next three to five years, the same price performance gains that have been seen in the hardware area will be seen in software, external services, and labor spending. Outlined are the factors causing this change, which include open source software, Microsoft, offshore labour and services, new software tools to better manage IT assets, and the Internet.
Survival strategies for buyers and sellers of technology to help them prepare for this long-term change in growth are prescribed.
