AB  - A growing number of leading management consultants are highlighting
from their work the link between investments in information technology
and successful business performance. Whilst many senior executives have
taken this message to heart and have invested heavily in IT, they are
frustrated by the seeming lack of progress and escalating costs in their
information services operations. Some rules of thumb for the
“non‐technical” senior executive by which he or she can
measure whether the technology investments being proposed are the right
solutions are given. It is suggested that “return on
investment” is not the best measure of success in IT and gives an
alternative measure by linking the investment to achievement of business
objectives. In the process, it explodes one or two myths about IT.
