Preface
Companies are facing a perfect storm of globalization, talent wars and consumerization of technology... How will they navigate successfully?
The vast business information systems of today have a prosaic origin - the double-entry accounting system and the general ledger. Information Technology grew from the challenge of automating accounting.
“Corporations today are structured like giant income statements and for decades IT has been about automating old transactional processes.”
Steve Papermaster, nGenera CEO
