It was frightening
Late 90s up to the dotcom becoming dotwot, it was a nightmare. Wheels came off big style and we got the blame for that as well.
The boys spouting this stuff then and now conveniently forget a key point. They are the ones in charge, if your IT is doing something else other than facilitating doing business, you are letting them. Why?
Weak? Incompetent? Some one explain why it's happening, that's if it is at all of course. We are a well useful scapegoat...
