I think that the whole issue stems from the people who run these business are themselves technologically illiterate.

And no matter how much the experts in the field advise them, they will continue to refuse to spend on technology if it appears to them to be not-value-for-money.

Is this investment going to pay-back? If it is, over what period?

I know this position I present does not sound tech-friendly enough. But I have been on the other side of the fence long enough to appreciate why organisations are ( or rather could ) still be poor in ICT deployment.

People and organisations providing ICT services therefore need to approach the business community with the pay-back message in mind, rather than how-things-will-improve.
