Business technology, whether it is called IT, IS, ICT or Business Systems, is a much misunderstood and maligned discipline, simply because it is so often done so badly. Too often the responsibility of devising and implementing technology-based systems to support business operations is left to technologists, with the result that what is implemented, however technically brilliant, is a disappointment to the business and a waste of expenditure.
