Why you should read Dot Vertigo

Bad news for corporate executives: Any IT investments you made before 1995 are now obsolete. That’s the message from Richard Nolan, who advises companies to forget about updating their legacy systems and begin anew from scratch. Why is such a dramatic gesture required? Because technology advances over the past decade have totally revamped the competitive landscape, making speed and flexibility the business imperatives of the 21st century. Sure, there are echoes of ’90s Net hysteria here, but getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book as a warning that, just because the bubble has burst, decision makers cannot afford to neglect their IT systems.
