Story: IT 'key to productivity'

Bad IT can be worse than no IT. 'Avoid Microsoft' is the rule of thumb. The days of IT as a form of potlatch are long over and not only are budget tight, but the IT purchase must actually perform. There are still many excellent closed source tools out there as are open source tools out there. Choosing best of breed (or even close to it) will save work and money both in the short term and later on down the road. However, this means abandoning some sacred cows and instead looking for products that do their job well and do support open protocols and formats.
