Nowadays, businesses
simply love to put the letter “i” in their offerings. We have i-City, ipad,
iphone, ipod etc. For me, the letter “I” brings a lot of meaning such as
intelligence, independent, investment, interactive, interaction, interface and
internet. The world now is moving into a more sophisticated phase which you can
say the digital age. The direction of the companies offerings are simply
towards creativity and mobility.
For example,
in i-City Shah Alam there is “integration” between work and play. The same goes
with the ipad whereby it can be a mobile office and for entertainment. Even
entertainment also can be educational which can be called as “infotainment”.
However,
most companies are reluctant in investing in such technology. One of the main reasons
is the high-cost of investment. Other reasons are such as it is difficult to
justify the ROI, lack of knowledgeable workers to handle the IT system and company’s
culture which does not want to change which they feel comfortable with the
status quo.
As we all
know that business now is about speed in delivering products and services
without compromising quality. Hence, businesses need to understand that they
need to compete. Their competitors are not only based locally but also abroad. If
companies were to lag behind regards in their operations, delivery etc..they
can lose business.
Once
companies are able to find a system that suits their company’s objective then
the next step is to get an allocation (budget) to ‘i’-nvest.
