His vision changed our world. But in this monumental work Bill Gates argues that the capabilities of computers, software, and networks are only beginning to be harnessed -- and that your company must start building a modern, digital nervous system now in order to compete quickly and intuitively in the new millennium.
In BUSINESS @ THE SPEED OF THOUGHT, Gates explains how to turn your hardware and software into a powerful, evolving network of information. Looking at the digital systems in place at Microsoft and other leading corporations, Gates shows how your company can:
-- Convert every paper process to a digital process -- and end information bottlenecks
-- Use networks to create fast-reacting virtual teams to work together among traditional departments
-- Decrease cycle time by using digital transactions with supplies and partners to get products out before the competition
-- Knock down the walls of your company and electronically build new business relationships and new markets.
