Technology Myths

The sub title is true to some extent but when you remove the people, remove peoples needs, remove departments needs, you're removing the entire purpose. Ask employees what their needs are when making decisions. Ask department heads how their department work with clients? Who makes the buying decisions? Saving time a criteria? Is it a committee? The CFO? The accounting department? Likely it will change based on the organizations structure. I know I'm harping again but computers to blackberries they are tools to use not to be married too. Human need should come first. One e-conference recently had a case study how to make life easier and patients safer based on technology. I can't think of a better example then the health care industry because it isn't always but it is a life and death situation.
Time is money and sometimes a life. Physicians and nurses need the right application, the right equipment, and saving time is huge for this profession. The technology exist for transcribing patients records by voice command. Time a critical component in the heath care industry plus accurate communication.
