Ignore consumer tech at your peril, CIOs warned – IT Director – Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

I believe that IT needs to allow enough room to allow users the ability to try services and products out that can help them do their job.  IT is a bad place to make decisions on workflow applications.  It does much better defining the technology necessary for a smart decision.
