Many companies are underutilizing their existing IT systems. You might think you need to buy a new piece of software, for example, when what you really need is a training refresh on your existing application. The point of my piece was where should IT vendors and LSPs focus on in terms of developing new products and services. But from a customer perspective, your comment is right on target. If you plan to make an investment, make sure you really need it. A. balaporiaz,

Maybe you categorize that as part of the "growing edge". I think sometimes we need to focus on "sharpening our pruning and trimming edge" to focus on leveraging existing underutilized capabilities/technologies.
