    Information technology is a major investment for companies, accounting for 50% of corporate capital spending. It has evolved from simply generating reports and doing backoffice work, and can now provide strategic advantages through technologies like RFID tracking systems. However, IT also risks becoming a commodity unless companies focus on the value it provides rather than just its infrastructure. To avoid this, companies should have conversations about the impacts they want IT to achieve and be willing to experiment outside their comfort zones. The document then provides an overview of the development of IT and common issues for managers to consider regarding its implementation and strategic use.
