An informative look at whether or not investments in information technology really create value Businesses collectively spend more than $1.3 trillion on new information technology (IT) each year. And while IT investments appear to be valuable, no one seems to be able to prove it. This is what many have long considered the IT return on investment (ROI) paradox. In this timely book, IT expert Mark Bills investigates "the ROI Paradox" in exhaustive detail and provides some startling insights and observations.
