About

Business is not business as usual anymore. Today, technology figures in major ways in any business, even business that use just the telephone and/or fax. But of course, fax machines are increasingly being made obsolete by the digital superhighway that is called the internet today. More businesses are using enterprise software systems to run their entire business.

Then again, many businesses are technology companies which make the IT that businesses rely on today. Microsoft makes the world’s No. 1 Office Applications. Oracle builds the database that drives many powerful IT systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. And you know what? The IT businesses are probably the most profitable in the world today. Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Yahoo, SAP are businesses first. They just happen to be in technology – Information Technology.

So Business and IT are closely linked. That much is obvious. How are they linked and what good do these links bring to the bottom line? This is what this blog is about.

Some of you may be asking who that guy in the picture is. Well, that’s me, Lim Shee Chee. I am the Academic Manager of the Business IT diploma programme in Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of Business and Accountancy. I have been in the business and IT thing (no, not just the teaching part) for well over 20 years. After that long, it has become a part of me. If you want to know more about me, read my e-Portfolio!
