Former Sun CIO Bill Howard shares perspectives gained after 42 years in IT.
This two-part series will be my final editorial as executive sponsor for the Sun Inner Circle program. I would like to share with you some observations from my long career in information technology. I will wrap up Part 1 by identifying a few growing problems the IT industry must address. In Part 2 next month, I will provide some predictions for the future of the industry.
