ABSTRACT

TODAY THE TRADITIONAL DP MANAGER, with his or her one-size-fits-all approach, has become almost a relic. It is no longer a single technology that needs to be managed for process efficiency gains, but multiple technologies that could be critical for business survival or growth. The chief information officer (CIO), or perhaps a team of decentralized Information Systems (IS) directors, has replaced the traditional DP manager and, in some cases, provides a new way for leadership to interact.
