[#OPINION] About techies and business support

Buenas,

always happens to me everytime I go to events whose focus is not the technology, I realize that when much distance between IT teams and business people, as work is likely to not serve for nothing.

Today was lucky enough to live to see a person… ok I can’t say the name, but I think that I can give clues. Those who know space travel will know the company where he works this person, which is one of the few commercial companies that are dedicated to send things into space. And as well as put you in orbit in a commercial way, also put the batteries and they win a couple of Championships in F1, not clear?

As that, at a certain point, raised the debate on whether internal or external it Department, and the example was terrific. It is basically remember why all the websites in the late 1990s and early 2000 were more ugly than the birth of Mick Jagger. Very simple, the led IT departments. We had very useful websites with endless lists, super complex processes to register a few details and again, uglier than stepping barefoot shit. Then it began to get into the topic of business experts and clear… the thing was better.

Note: care today an ugly web site, is in fashion. It can be to think that it is as well as a marketing technique that we associate it with a person. I recommend to take a look at this link .

I proceed, the focus to keep in mind is that the techies are (are we?) very important, perhaps essential. But a techie without direction is like a ship without a rudder, can finish anywhere. For example the case of Facebook.The Mark Z is a techie, but is a person who lives 25 hours a day thinking about one thing you would like to improve Facebook?. Those who know him (I haven’t had luck), say that as the father of the world’s largest social network, it is the person more aSocial there. This is normal, it is not an example of believe it, it is only the hand that guides the direction of FB.

Now, and why this post? (in addition to time in the ) Charles de Gaulle ) just to remember that if you’re a techie, on many occasions it is almost more important to work beside the person of business than trying to sneak shoe horn with the latest in the latest technology. 5 of the 10 most successful companies commercially, are last in the technological support on which they are supported. That Yes, meet its objective in a masterly way Risa
