teleconferencing and HOME GROWN cloud, it is time to get back to the basics. Computers were meant to do three things - take data input, manipulate that data, and then output the results. Forcing them to do anything else gets into negative ROI in a hurry.

In this economy, CIO's are going to be asked to show the exact effect on the balance sheet for everything they want to do. So much of what Gartner is proposing is going to be impossible to show such.

But then again, I truly believe Gartner is the biggest joke going in the IT world today. They have lost complete touch with the reality of how IT relates to business.
