Strategic spending is everything when it comes to ensuring IT success. InfoWorld breaks down seven IT project domains to expose
where you may overindulge or come up short in 2007: SOA, compliance, security, virtualization, collaboration, networking,
and application development.
Agile scripting: Bigger bang for app-dev bucks Mashups and SOA are fueling a shift toward scripting and agility -- invest in skill sets accordingly
Capitalize on emerging collaboration options Foregoing licenses in favor of emerging alternatives will free funds to train employees to collaborate effectively
Weighing the cost of compliance Certain to spend too much adhering to regulations this year, IT may be putting the enterprise at risk
As-needed networking rollouts pay off Buying into the buzz of VoIP, Gigabit, and IPSes may result in less-than-optimal benefits
