Hackett: CIO Update, ''IT Does Matter''
August 13 2007 - 1:24PM
Business Wire
New research from the Hackett Group regarding best-in-class
companies confirms this view. Not everyone may agree, but companies
that consistently outperform their peers utilize IT more
effectively, said Erik Dorr, a senior business advisor and one of
the report's authors. "This superior IT performance is actually
only correlated with superior performance in other SG&A
functions. So, for a lot of CIOs, they still are fighting this
battle with their management. So this gives them some ammunition in
hand to make the case that IT does matter." In other words, you can
field the best technology available, run your department mean and
lean, hire the best and brightest, etc. but, if you don't have
management's backing and user buy-in, much of what you do will
never make your IT shop's performance "world-class," said Dorr.
