A brilliant paper with several challenging soundbites. However the restructuring it proposes is radical and I am not yet convinced.

...if IT managers admitted one dirty little secret: it is very hard to understand technology! That is why the industry is so rife with buzzwords...the marketing departments have got you. No matter how objective you think you are, you will inevitably find yourself choosing a brand name....after the decades of waste in IT it is time for a new level of accountability...I believe they could demand a greater accountability and openness from the industry. And there is no better way to be "open", than to avoid the kind of marketing double-talk that you find on the websites of most of the companies I have discussed.
