•We can not use the software to structure the company andwork process

•We had to alter the way that we work, to fit the way the software had been designed!

The value of a good Information System

Top managers know that Information Systems : •Can be a powerful framework to structure companies•Can be a source of competitive advantage and profits, not a mere cost•Are always moving: even if our solution is the best, today, we need to continuously improve it•Are not global indistinguishable technology 

uidgestSoftware as a Service?

•Software as a service tells us how to buy sausage and bread for the cheapest price, not how to create great tasting hot‐dogs!
