About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"A Journey Through Oz provides a road map to understanding the urgent need to implement the distributed asset tracking tool set for a measurable and positive impact on business results. This book should be required reading for business leaders who want to understand and maximize the impact of their companies' IT (information technology) investment on net income. Clearly, CIOs and sourcing leaders should read this book as well if they are to be true partners in the business profitability equation."

Suzanne M. Wetherington, Vice President, Information Technology,

GE Capital/TIP "A Journey Through Oz takes a difficult subject, one that many either don't understand or find boring, and illustrates how a disciplined approach of managing a distributed IT environment can really add value and return dollars to the bottom line...What's more, the book provides a cookbook approach for those who don't know how to begin."

Carl Wilson, Vice President, Information Resources,

Georgia-Pacific Corp. "Ever wonder if all the computing technology you buy causes more problems than it solves? A Journey Through Oz puts that question clearly into perspective. For those of you who don't know whether you have a problem, it will be enlightening...for those of you who know you do, it will reinforce your resolve to do something about it. And for those who are engaged in solving the problem, it will confirm and refine your thinking and actions. The result will be lower costs, higher user satisfaction, more value and enhanced personal credibility."
