This is a good book on how to be cost effective in using Information Technology.

Some Useful Information But Generally Too High-Level
This book was useful to me in certain respects: the information contained in it about data center and software development metrics (two chapters' worth) was valuable and timely. The rest of the book, however, was too high-level to be put to immediate use. The author also included far too many visuals. I found them distracting and not supportive of the text.

Disappointed - not up with the times
I have just finished reading this book and was quite disappointed. The book is not sufficiently up-to-date and is fairly IBM-oriented. It does explain what best practices are about but does not offer sufficient help for you to actually apply them usefully. It is very general/high level. It also overstates their usefulness and doesn't sufficiently discuss the dangers of using them - they can be a follow the leader tool.
