Project Failure -- The Numbers, Why and What It Means
by Jim Brown and Olin Thompson
IT projects fail regularly--considerably missing expectations, drastically overrunning budgets, significantly missing deadlines, and far too often having to be abandoned entirely. Research shows us that this is the rule, not the exception. Research also tells us why. What is the impact of failure on enterprises, IT professionals and software and services providers? Does it have to be this way? |

Customer
Self Service Essentials
Web self-service technologies are working their way into today's
enterprises and are demonstrating that integrating self-service
into support practices has much to offer. The potential for cost
savings and increased employee efficiency make Web self-service
an attractive option to consider. Yet, as the enterprise evolves,
self-service is destined to become more of a necessity than an option.
For banks, brokerage houses and other financial institutions, Web
self-service has come to be expected by customers. Clients crave
24x7 access to account information and value the convenience of
being able to locate information on their own. As more customers
turn to the Web to conduct business, that expectation will expand
rapidly to include other industries, making Web self-service a critical
component of competitive customer service strategy.
