In the beginning, business approach to technology was one of cautious scepticism. Before any new technology was adopted be it the telegraph, the telephone, or a computer system, business needed to ensure that the technology would have a positive impact on their bottom line. During the later part of the 20th century, businesses lost sight of this and handed the reins for new technology implementation to the technical specialists and stressed speed of implementation over required implementations. Without formal business planning and structure, technology started being implemented for technology sake.
