IT Management as a Performance Management Project

We here at the Performance Guys are always happy to welcome new points of views to the world of performance management, and our friend Paul Ross begins today to add a new dimension to the discussion around performance in an organization with his first blog entry on IT systems management and its role as an asset in driving organizational performance.

Granted Paul will have a more Microsoft-centric viewpoint on things, but given the fact that he's helping to market a $1B business, I think his viewpoint represents a more than credible voice to how performance management is not just a business issue, but goes to the heart of how an organization thinks about IT--is it just a cost center, or can it be more than that? I think Paul's blog will attempt to prove the latter point.

We can't help but feel a bit like Judge Smales and Danny in Caddyshack in welcoming Paul into the discussion in person, and not just in random anonymous comment postings (not that he would do that, we're just saying...)

Paul's blog is also listed over the right, be sure to visit often and add it to your bookmarks.
