In a column published in eWeek Magazine on February 26, 2001, Peter Coffee stated:
“That’s why a halfhearted IT budget isn’t a cost-cutting gambit; it’s a postdated suicide note. You’ve already decided to let yourself die, it’s just a matter of time before you flatline.”

Looking back from February, 2006 I ask you: Were truer words ever written? The general malaise in most IT departments today can be directly attributed to the CxO level attitude that IT departments just want to play with all the new toys, and therefore must have limited, draconian budgets, with no input to same.
Thoughts?
