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 addition, he provides a framework to help companies understand that there are many other investments costs beyond those of creating, deploying, and operating the information system itself.
