<description><![CDATA[An interesting article in the New York Times asks, &quot;Are the Glory Days Long Gone for I.T.?&quot; I would say, yes and no.

<description><![CDATA[The traditional view is that IT manages systems -- the data is the business’s concern. The only thing that IT people do with data is define the structure of data in databases, which means that the only work IT people do with data is to design the shape of the buckets that the businesspeople pour business data into.
