هو إستراتيجية

, [فوكسد] أنا على الاسم في "معلومة تكنولوجيا." غير أنّ يكون معلومة يتلقّى دائما عنصر حرجة استراتيجيّة عمل وعلى الأرجح سيكون [إفن مور س] غدا. It’s important to underline that the ability to think strategically, to think in business terms about information—whether it’s information about your business or the transformation of your products into pure information—those skills will be critically important to companies, probably increasingly important, in the years ahead”.

If you look at IT only from the sourcing (make, buy or outsource), distribution (‘grid’ or otherwise), technology (open source or custom created application) or the infrastructure (email etc) perspective you can argue that IT is becoming a commodity. I agree it’s a matter of time before all of the above component will become commodity. But to somehow pigeon hole IT in this narrowly defined aspect is a fruitless exercise, because information in the word IT encompasses critical and strategic thinking. THAT can never become a commodity!

I am happy to see Nicholas Carr clarify his stance on IT and I am in agreement with him there!
