Microsoft sets its sights on productivity measures

Microsoft Group Vice President Jeff Raikes says it's time to move beyond the industry debate over whether IT offers companies a competitive advantage. Instead, Raikes says, it's time to question how companies measure the impact of IT.
Raikes and executives from Microsoft, Accenture, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Xerox, as well as academic, government and private-industry representatives, have been working for more than a year to establish a common set of tools for measuring business productivity. Last week, about 200 Information Work Productivity Council backers met in New York as part of the first IWPC assembly.
