CyberCarnage: Everything We Own Is Obsolete ncworldmag.com ncworldmag.com "But there is a problem with the equipment and software we are using. Everything we purchased is obsolete. Everything we installed is obsolete. Every piece of hardware. Every piece of software. All the mainframes, all the servers, all the Personal Computers (PCs), all the network equipment, all the cable, all the modems -- they are not going to meet the needs of the next generation of computing. Write off our investment in systems, training, services, and consulting. Everything has to be done all over again. But we knew it was coming. This CyberCarnage that will decimate our IS investment. The paradigm shift from the cloistered halls of mainframe systems to the avant-garde freedom of minicomputer computing is history. So is the paradigm of personal productivity computing. The PC has become a problem, a very costly progenitor of frustration. And the paradigm shift from PCs to client/server computing? It's not the answer. The Wintel Alliance may want you to put a micro mainframe on every desk -- and they may expect you to tie them together with every more complex networks. But we know that strategy will not work. Not in the long run. It's far too expensive. And too damn risky. Because the next paradigm shift is happening. Right now. And it will change everything."
