This Business/IT alignment is not only crucial but is practically achievable as well. To show that we are able not only to call for it on every street corner but to actually, practically achieve it, I have recently published a paper on the issue: Closing the Business-IT Gap Once And For All (http://www.bpminstitute.org/articles/article/article/closing-the-business-it-gap-once-and-for-all.html). It is trying to show that some things are actually easier done than said (if one knows what he is doing, of course). Jim. of course.

The Technology of Information Processing is a plain field, which should and will be standardized, commoditized, and left to IT Technicians.
