Gates: Info glut killing businesses
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates today told executives in not so many words that information will bury their businesses if they don't get a handle on it.
To solve the information deluge problem, Microsoft stressed improved search and increased collaboration. A keystone of that vision is Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007.
In a keynote address at the software giant's 10th annual CEO Summit, Gates said that the value for companies is in finding ways to share information. But he said business doesn't have the tools to manage the information overload.
