Four fried chickens and a Coke – Serving IT customers what they really want!
Nov 29, 2012 - 8:00AM Sneak Peek
The problem for IT organizations today is that we’re used to giving our customers what we want them to have, and we aren’t used to giving them anything that is cool. Well, in fairness, the stuff we want to give them was cool, during the 90’s, but it’s not cool any more. Are we (yes, I’m an IT Guy) out of touch? Are we out of money? Or, do they not understand the big picture?
