Speed to market for technology roll-outs has become one of the greatest challenges the CIO faces today. Competition, market positioning, scheduling, and technology limitations all play an obstacle for fast roll-out projects. Within the last three years, technology growth is outpacing the capability of IT organizations to execute implementation internally and externally. By the time an organization is trained in the latest technology that was just recently purchased, an upgrade is released or even worse a new technology trumps the one that was just implemented. Within this column, I’d like to discuss how the design/construction industry mirrors the CIO technology roll-out program and the integration of both activities.
