Now that you learned about IT’s IT headaches, it’s time to find out what business thinks of information technology. IDC, an analyst firm based in Framingham, MA, surveyed business managers at 413 companies – and the news is actually pretty good.

Some 70 percent of these managers believe that IT has spurred innovation. Unfortunately only one in five business managers find the IT folks themselves to be “initiators in business strategies.”

My guess is that engineering firms find even more innovation arising out of powerful workstations, smoking hot servers and state of the art software! And as far as engineers initiating new ideas, well we all know the name of that tune!
