Withinthebusinessworld,eachsector hasitsownrequirementsand challenges.Someoftheissues drasticallyaffectbusinessesand organizationsacrossarangeof industriesandsectors.

“I can see the appeal of a widget-like approach for its ease and simplicity, but just as we don't all wear the same style or color of clothing or drive the same car, I believe not all customers want the same cookie-cutter solution.”
