Abstract

Important new tools are now available to planning professionals and their information systems support staff. These new tools create both opportunities and hazards—including the hazard of overlooking an opportunity for competitive advantage. The problem is that, while changes in price and performance are happening so fast that rapid obsolescence of equipment and software is inevitable, the costs of frequent replacement must be weighted against the cost of missed opportunities.
