The Business Value Of IT Book

I opened my copy of this book, The Business Value of IT,  by Mike Harris of DCG,  David Herron and Iwknicki Stasia doing some research and I must say I enjoy this book every time I look through it.  It covers how t maximize value in the short, medium and long term.

Great discussion on metrics.  And the simple things which, if done well, will make IT a profit rather than a cost.  They actually teach classes at our facility on occasion.  I think i will slip in next time they discuss IT Value.

I am also fascinated by SEER’s ability to estimate value in addition to cost for IT, software, and other areas.  Good work SEER development team.
