Does the IT Industry Really Matter?

That's a question you don’t hear every day, yet it is one that was asked of a CIO.com columnist. After reading the article and the comments, I am still left with my original reaction: "What?!"

Here’s my short answer on why that is a ridiculous question. We live in a “right now” world. If your company does business at a speed that is anything less than instant, you are at an extreme disadvantage. Why? There are two reasons:

1. Everyone is trying to be faster, including your competition.
2. The consumers expect it. If you can't meet their expectations, they'll find someone who can.

It is more important than ever to stay current from a technology standpoint. How will a company stay current from a technology standpoint without the IT industry?

I'm happy to say that we've helped many companies move at the speed of "right now" thanks to m-Power. For example, this stairlift manufacturer was able to develop a whole new suite of web applications in just two weeks using m-Power.
