This blog intends to highlight how IT links in with both Business Strategy and Finance. Far too often IT and new technology is just used or installed as it's the "latest thing" with no thought as to how it can add value to a business, reduce operating costs and help a business achieve it's Business Strategy. This blog will show exactly how IT can benefit your business and not just be an expensive flashy overhead. I come from a Management Accountancy background and work for a Consultancy company called Waterstons (www.waterstons.co.uk) in Durham, UK.
