BANGALORE: A recent global research on high performance IT programme says information technology's (IT) contribution to earnings growth is not as much as it should be.
"IT is not contributing as much as it could to earnings growth," says a study by global management consulting technology services and outsourcing firm Accenture.
The problem, however, is not with innovation but adoption, said Accenture's Chief Technology Architect Paud Daugherty, sharing the findings of the study.
Most integration is internally-focused and not standard.
The research, which covered over 500 Chief Information Officers in database spread over 22 industries and 22 countries, described IT investing as "slow water skiing".
Just as equipment depreciates with age, technology becomes obsolescent with substitution, the study said.
The study foresees significant increase in integration and Web 2.0 focus in IT in the coming years.
The consumer Internet will raise expectations for applications agility.
Accenture, Daugherty said, has identified four major areas for its R&D focus, which are Analytics/Business Intelligence, Intelligent Device Integration, Human-Computer Interaction and System Integration.
