Whether you are an IT executive, or just beginning your career, this book offers you the key insights you need to understand what is happening and what is coming. Understanding that future, Charles Araujo blends a wide range of research and case studies to help you discover the skills you must develop in order to succeed and thrive in The Quantum Age of IT.
Charles has really nailed it for any executive struggling with IT strategy. How IT got here and where it’s going. This book really hits at the heart of what is missing in IT today and provides step-by-step approaches loaded with examples for steering the strategic course for IT in the 21st century.

This is the most definitive book on IT Transformation I have ever read. It clearly identifies how to perceive, treat and integrate IT as a true business function. It should be required reading for all current and aspiring CIOs, CTOs and CISOs. This paradigm shift is happening right now and this book demystifies the steps needed to make the journey successful. Bravo!!
