At these companies IT is a cost center, not a revenue generating department. That is to say, they are structured to where it doesn't matter. Go on Dice.com and search asp.net developers to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
- rbanffy 13y agoI understand the issue. Even if IT is not considered a revenue generator, when properly managed, it can become a competitive advantage. And since so many companies treat IT as a cost center, subject it to all the "best practices" and use only "best-of-breed" solutions, turning IT into a competitive asset has never been so easy. The history of corporations is full of examples of not-very-bright companies vanquishing their competition only because they were the least incompetent in that segment and all their competition blundered itself into oblivion.
